Godolphin House
16th Century House and Garden near Helston, West Cornwall
Beautiful and romantic historic house and garden now cared for by the National Trust, where time has stood still, giving the house, garden and surrounding estate buildings a haunting air of antiquity and peace. The garden is largely unchanged since the 16th century. Archaeologically rich estate walks. Note: major conservation work underway.
Making the most of your day
