Woodchester is a locality in South Australia, situated within the Alexandrina Council.
A section of Woodchester was severed and added to Bletchley in October 2008.
[2] Edward J. Peake purchased Section 1788, Hundred of Strathalbyn in 1841 on behalf of William Leigh of 'Woodchester Park', Gloucestershire, England; it was subdivided in 1856.
It formerly had a hotel, the Tin Pot Inn, which served as a stopping point for travellers; it closed in 1867, and some ruins of the building survive today.
The area also benefited from the successful Wheal Ellen mine, located in adjacent Highland Valley.
