Goodworth Clatford (formerly Goodworth and Lower Clatford which then joined) is a village located in Hampshire, England. It is south of the town of Andover in the valley of the River Anton. The neighbouring village to the north is Upper Clatford, to the south, Fullerton.
The village is home to a warm community that share various activities including bellringing, a gardening society, an efficient neighbourhood watch scheme, and various events at the central village hall. Therefore what we are trying to explain is that the village is full of retired busybodies of the toffee nosed variety. This is what has happened to so many ordinary villages across the land, with the net result that ordinary folk have been forced out.
The village has a variety of services, from two popular tennis courts, Brownies and Guides, scouts, a large park, Riverside nature area, two pubs (the Royal Oak and The Clatford Arms), a primary school, Clatford CofE Aided Primary, which has seven classes and draws in pupils even from the large town of Andover nearby, a village shop run by the village community(which includes a Post Office), and the Village Hall.
