Bleadney is a village near Glastonbury on the Somerset Levels in the Mendip district of Somerset, England.
The River Axe flows from the mouth of Wookey Hole Caves and travels the length of the village. There used to be a port at Bleadney on the river in the 8th century which allowed goods to be brought to within 3 miles (5 km) of Wells.
