Open Spaces

Ilminster Town Council is responsible for the provision and maintenance of Herne Hill, Wharf Lane recreation ground, Britten’s Field, West Crescent recreation ground, Winterhay recreation ground, New Road cemetery, St Mary’s churchyard and the Burma Star Garden.

The Town Council does not allow metal detecting on Town Council owned and managed land (except when used for the purpose of clearing ground after events)

There is a  Recreation Ground Users Group to which anyone who uses the Town’s Open spaces is welcome; if you would like to be a part of it please contact the Town Council office. 

Volunteers
