Godolphin was considered in the 17th century to be the most fashionable house in Cornwall. Centuries of benign neglect have given the house and garden an extraordinary haunting air of antiquity and peace. Miraculously the garden has barely changed since the 14th and 16th centuries, with the latest fashions passing it by.
