A hidden garden on the edge of York
We’re delighted to be able to welcome you back. There may be some changes to your visit as the pandemic has affected the way we’re able to do things. Opening times and days have changed, along with the way you experience Goddards. Please read this article carefully so that you know what to expect before booking your visit.
Book in advance for exclusive access to the garden ‘rooms’ of the former home of the Terry family (think Chocolate Orange). Discover fragrant borders and hidden corners or simply soak up the sunshine on the terrace. The Terry factory clock tower can be seen from the paddock orchard overlooking the racecourse.
Note: The house is also used as regional offices for the National Trust in Yorkshire.

If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
