Part of Ilminster's attraction is its proximity to major road transport links, located as it is at the crossroads of the A358 and the A303
The A358 is the busiest trunk road in Somerset, stretching into Devon to the south, and Taunton and West Somerset to the north. Taunton is about 15 minutes and 13 miles away by car.
The A303 is the second major route from London to the South West (the other being the M4 and M5 motorways). London is about 3 hours and 140 miles away along the A303.
Government-approved plans should see the A358 between Ilminster and Taunton turned into a dual carriageway in the next few years
The nearest stations are Taunton - which connects to London Paddington, Penzance, Birmingham and Scotland - and Yeovil Junction and Crewkerne stations, which are on the mainline between Exeter and London Waterloo
