Godinton House and Gardens

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A lovely brick manor with roots dating back to the 14th century. Godinton was for centuries the home of the Toke family. Much of the present house owes its form to work undertaken by Captain Nicholas Toke beginning in 1627. The interior offers much of interest, from the medieval great hall with its hammerbeam roof to the 17th century great chamber with profuse Georgian panelling.
Garden: Lovely formal and informal gardens surrounding a Jacobean manor. There is much variety here, including an 18th century walled garden, Italianate garden, formal topiary, and a wild garden. Best in: Spring, for daffodils and wildflowers in the Wild Garden.
