Weston in Gordano is a small, lively and friendly village situated in the picturesque Gordano Valley. The village offers easy access to great walking routes, including Middle Hill Common and connections to the Gordano Round.
The village has a strong sense of community, and the Social Committee organises a range of events each year including quiz nights in the Village Hall and a village BBQ and fete in the summer. There is an active Gardening Group holding regular meetings, and organising the infamous annual plant sale, as well as looking after planting in the centre of the village.
In the village you will find the beautiful Church of St Peter and St Paul erected in the 12th Century. We also have a lovely village pub, The White Hart, currently being refurbished and due to re-open in the spring of 2024.
