Originally a small market town, Yeovil became an industrial centre
in the nineteenth century, famous for its leather goods, particularly
gloves. You can find out more about Yeovil's fascinating past
in the Heritage and Visitor Information Centre. Nowadays aircraft engineering is the main industry,
with the Westland helicopter factory based in the town, and regular
helicopter test flights to watch. There are also cinemas and theatres,
a leisure centre and Country Park and even a dry ski slope to
enjoy before your winter sports holiday!
