Godolphin

The estate at Godolphin boasts a number of habitats including wild woodlands and the peaceful banks of the River Hayle.

A beautiful, short riverside walk, with two wooden troll bridges. It's an ideal place for wild flowers and a great spot for picnics in the summer months.

A gentle ramble up to the top of Godolphin Hill which boasts one of the best views over West Cornwall. On a clear day you can see St Michael's Mount and St Ives bay.

Looking for something to do with the family during the summer holidays? In the South West we've got plenty to keep everyone entertained.

From 3 August you'll be able to get 50 per cent off your bill, up to a maximum of £10 per person on food and drink bought at and consumed at our café (excluding alcoholic drinks), through the government's Eat Out to Help Out Scheme. The scheme applies from Monday to Wednesdays only and ends on 31 August.

Godolphin's historic garden is bursting with wildlife friendly flowers, so wherever you lay your picnic blanket, you're sure to find a spot surrounded by buzzing bees. Take your pick from picnicking in the orchard or relaxing on the grass. Please book ahead before visiting.

During the 134 years of ownership by the Dukes of Leeds, they only visited Godolphin, on record, twice. One such occasion was the 28th May 1909. Find out why this visit was so special.

Due to a fire in the 17th century we know little about the detailed history of the estate. However, archaeological findings give insight into how the area has been used in the past 2,000 years.

Several of the Trust's properties in West Cornwall are within a World Heritage Site, but what does this mean, and why does the area deserve this status?

As we gradually and safely open more of the places we care for, there’ll be more opportunities to explore gardens and parklands near you. If you’re a member, you can access all these places free, together with most National Trust car parks. It’s so important for everyone to have fresh air, birdsong, big skies and open spaces to enjoy. Your membership will go towards looking after all of this for generations to come.

For 125 years, people like you have helped us protect some of the UK's best-loved places. Everyone needs nature, beauty and green spaces now more than ever. But our income has dropped sharply due to the coronavirus crisis, and our essential conservation work is at risk. Please give what you can to help us look after these places, so people and nature can thrive.
