View source for Turnpike trusts in South West England

This is a '''list of turnpike trusts that maintained roads in South West England'''.
Between 1663 and 1836, the Parliament of Great Britain and the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed a series of acts of Parliament that created organisations - [[turnpike trust]]s – that collected road tolls, and used the money to repair the road. These applied to major roads, around a fifth of the road network.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/transportcomms/roadsrail/overview/turnpikestolls/ |title=Turnpikes and tolls |website=UK Parliament}}</ref> The turnpike system was phased out in the 1870s, and major roads transitioned in the 1880s to the maintenance of the new [[county council]]s.
The counties used for these lists are the [[historic counties of England]] that existed at the time of the turnpike trusts. This article lists those in the south west of England: [[Cornwall]], [[Devon]], [[Dorset]], [[Gloucestershire]], [[Somerset]] and [[Wiltshire]].
