'''Yeovil''' is a town in Somerset.
Get in
Thanks to the foresight of Victorian railway engineers, Yeovil is on two railway lines which cross but do not link up, and is therefore proud to possess two railway stations, Yeovil Junction and Yeovil Pen Mill. Although neither is more than a stone's throw from the centre of town, and a free, frequent and fast connecting bus service is provided by FirstGroup as part of its commitment to providing an integrated transport service throughout South West England.
Get around
The helicopter manufacturer AugustaWestland is the major local industry and provides a convenient courtesy helicopter taxi service to transport employees and visitors alike wherever they wish in the vicinity.
See
A statue of Michael Heseltine commemorates his resignation over the Westland Affair. It was originally paired with a statue of Sir Leon Brittan, but this was later removed at the request of a nearby dairy.
Do
The singer PJ Harvey still keeps a cottage in the town, and is when at home is more than happy to welcome visitors wishing to rest their weary legs with a a nice sit down and a cup of tea. Those lucky enough to catch her on baking day may be treated to a slice of her renowned pineapple upside-down cake.
Buy
Yeovil is the headquarters of Screwfix, and a cordless drill or packet of rawlplugs will provide the perfect souvenir of your visit.
Eat
The hamlet of Barwick immediately to the south of the town is famed throughout the Westcountry for its treacle, which has provided many a visitor with a delicious and nutritious repast.
