Godmanchester is a small riverside town in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, within Cambridgeshire, England. Perched on the banks of the River Great Ouse between Huntingdon and St Ives, it has clear Roman and medieval roots and a compact historic centre of listed buildings, narrow streets and an old bridge that make it popular for riverside walks and local history enthusiasts.

Today the town mixes a strong community spirit - active clubs, annual events and conservation efforts - with a commuter economy, being within easy reach of Cambridge and Peterborough. Its blend of Georgian and Victorian architecture, riverside setting and accessible countryside gives it a quieter, characterful feel compared with larger nearby towns.
