Winsham is a small village and civil parish in South Somerset, England, lying close to the border with Dorset and a few miles from Chard and Crewkerne. It occupies rolling farmland on the eastern edge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are plenty of attractive country walks and rural views.
Historically a farming community with roots back to medieval times, the village still shows period cottages and a traditional parish church and maintains a strong local spirit through its village hall, pub and community groups; economically people mix agriculture and local trades with commuting to nearby towns. Winsham appeals to visitors and residents who value quiet village life within reach of the Somerset and Dorset countryside.
