It is situated in Tor Bay and lies between Torquay and Brixham, less than {{convert|1|mi|km}} south of Paignton. HistoryGoodrington is mentioned in the Domesday Book of AD 1086 as Godrintone in the ancient hundred of Kerswell.[2] The village became part of Haytor Hundred when it was derived from Kerswell Hundred. In the 18th century the name was written as Goderington.[3] In the late 19th century, the administrative functions of the hundred became a part of other units of government. In 1968 three councils were amalgamated, then since 1972 the Torbay Council provides many governmental services for Goodrington. Goodrington has a railway station, on the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, a water park, three beaches, a park with boating lake, various shops and other facilities. To the south there is also a popular dog walking route running along the coast to Broadsands. This passes several fishing spots and "Sugarloaf", a large hill with a view of the Bay. The village has two churches, St. George's (Anglican) and the Goodrington Methodist Church. EnvironmentThe village is home to the largest known Davey Elm in the UK.[4] Goodrington Park and Youngs Park are now tended by a local group called Youngs Park People who keep the green in excellent condition with many planted areas.
