Winchmore is a locality in the Ashburton District, situated on the Canterbury Plains in the South Island of New Zealand.
Winchmore lies roughly 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northwest of Ashburton, the largest town in the district, and 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Methven. It is a farming area on State Highway 77, neighbouring Greenstreet, Mitcham, and Lauriston. It consists mostly of private farmland.
Winchmore is the location of the Winchmore Gardens, a large garden that has existed since 1853,[3] when it was established as part of Winchmore Station by George Hart. While Hart's original 8,000-hectare (20,000-acre) claim on the Ashburton River's north bank no longer remains, the gardens are still maintained. They are currently 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres) in area,[4] and contain oaks, wellingtonia, sycamore, cherry, willow, and poplar trees that were planted in the 19th century.[3]
Winchmore has a community hall and a research weather station. Its primary school closed in 1927.
