Go back to whence you came

Question: is "to whence" allowed/correct? I thought "whence" always goes with "from"?

TIL! So if you replace "whence" with "from where", is "go back to from where you came" grammatically correct?

Also, you're answer prompted me to search, and I found this neat answer about the history of whence vs from whence; apparently from whence has been (mis)used for centuries!
