About

The south side of Yeovil sits immediately below the town centre and is largely residential, with a mix of post-war and later housing around the main routes. Sherborne Road (the A37) runs through the area, carrying local buses and linking the suburb directly to the road network toward Sherborne and Dorchester. The River Yeo crosses this part of town and provides a narrow green corridor with footpaths and trees that follow the river channel through several neighbourhoods.

Local life is organised around small shopping parades, primary schools, community halls and sports pitches used by amateur football and cricket teams. Light industrial and business units are located on the town’s southern edges, offering local employment alongside retail and service jobs in the neighbourhood centres. Regular bus services and nearby rail connections make commuting straightforward, while the river corridor and scattered open spaces give short walking routes within the suburb.
