About 20 minutes drive from Boscrowan there lies a hidden gem which is especially wonderful in Springtime – the ancient and atmospheric estate of Godolphin. Bluebell woods, medieval gardens and an incredibly old and imposing house and farm buildings.
Spring is when the gardens at Godolphin are at their very best. Th combination of Snake’s head fritillaries and primroses in the lawns as the daffodils are fading is a sight to behold and a lasting memory for us garden lovers!
There’s plenty of educational interest for children too in the farm buildings – milking shed, stables and old horse drawn flat hay wagons.
Some of the house is now a self catering wing so not always open to the public but you can wander in through those great doors to the secondhand bookshop and the Undercroft.
Do check out the NT website for opening times. Definitely well worth a visit.
