Godolphin Cross is a small, rural village in west Cornwall, England, set among the granite uplands and former mining landscape that characterises much of the area. The village takes its name from the nearby Godolphin Estate and has long associations with the Godolphin family, who played a notable part in Cornish and national history (including the statesman Sidney Godolphin).
Today it retains a quiet agricultural character with a close‑knit local community and many residents who commute to larger towns. It’s popular with walkers and those interested in Cornwall’s mining heritage and coastal scenery, being within easy reach of towns such as Helston and Penzance and the broader moorland and coastal landscapes of West Cornwall.
