About Godinton House & Gardens

Contained within the great boundary yew hedge, part of Blomfield’s original design, are twelve acres of tranquil gardens. Terraced lawns, a topiary and a large lily pond make a formal area softened by curvy-edged herbaceous borders, mature magnolias and willows with roses and clematis tumbling down the steps. The rose garden is a voluptuous mix of shrub roses and herbaceous planting and the Italian garden with its statuary, Mediterranean planting and gentle fountain makes a perfect place to sit on a warm day. The large walled kitchen garden is home to a spectacular collection of delphiniums provided by the local Delphinium Society, fruit trees have been planted on the walls and there are beds of cutting flowers and vegetables laid out in front of a new Victorian-style greenhouse. Two of the original greenhouses have been restored and are now used as a fern house and alpine house.

Plant Fair (21 April). Delphinium Festival (8 June - 23 June).
