Description
Godinton House & Gardens in Ashford is a historic house set in 12 acres of beautiful gardens. This 600-year-old property is a working estate rich with ancient parkland and showcases over 400 years of changing garden fashions. The influence of its current landscape is now mainly Reginald Blomfield’s 1898 design. The house itself is also a reflection of its history, with owners maintaining the rich heritage of the house, a home rather than a museum. Host regular events throughout the year, including open-air theatre, fairs and lots more.
