About Godney
For such a small village, there's quite a lot happening, here's the
notice boards from the summer in 2009
Set amongst the willows, waterways and wildlife of the Somerset Levels, Godney (God's Isle) is a small village
with a population of around 200. Godney stands along the banks of the River Sheppey - a few miles
to the north the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge, to the west the ridge
of the Polden Hills running towards Bridgwater Bay.
In a picturesque and secluded spot, Godney is nevertheless within easy reach of Glastonbury with its famous Tor and Arthurian legacy, and of Wells, the smallest city in England, built around its magnificent cathedral.
The level terrain and expansive horizons make this an ideal area for both walkers and cyclists.
Godney village is a thriving and innovative community and events, which draw visitors from far afield, include the spring Duck Races and autumn Raft Races, and the celebrated fancy dress Boxing Day Pram Race. There are fireworks in November, summer Rounders matches and the annual village fete. The village hall can be hired for parties and hosts a variety of community events such as Pilates, bowls and computer classes
Godney is also home to a celebrated amateur dramatic society (GADS) who stage up to three plays a year including a sell-out Christmas pantomime.
There are B&Bs, holiday cottages, and a caravan park.
