About

Ilminster ward encompasses the historic market town of Ilminster itself, along with several surrounding villages and hamlets in the rural South Somerset district. The area is characterised by a mix of agricultural land, wooded valleys, and the settlements along the A303 corridor. The town centre retains a traditional layout with independent shops and local services centred around its minster church.

The physical geography is defined by the River Isle, which flows through the town, and the surrounding ridges of the Blackdown Hills. A notable local feature is the Dillington Estate, which includes a historic house and extensive grounds used for educational and cultural purposes. The ward's economy combines light industry on its outskirts with a strong base in farming and community-focused retail in the town.
