Winscombe grew in the 19th century with the arrival of a branch of the Great Western Railway, opened in 1869. This was the Cheddar Valley line (also known as The Strawberry Line), which ran from Yatton to Wells via Cheddar. The railway was closed in 1963, and today, the route is a public footpath and cycle track. The site of the former Winscombe station is now the Millennium Green.
