Godolphin Estate, Tudor mansion and historic gardens in Cornwall, England
The Godolphin Estate spans 550 acres with formal gardens, medieval architecture, and woodlands surrounding a Grade I listed Tudor and Stuart mansion.
The Godolphin family accumulated wealth through tin and copper mining operations before selling their estate to artist Sidney Elmer Schofield in 1929.
The dining room features a carved ceiling recovered from a Portuguese vessel that sank in Mounts Bay during 1526.
The National Trust offers guided estate walks through the Godolphin countryside between March and October, with access to the mansion during the first week monthly.
The estate maintains a herd of Ruby Red Devon cattle that help create favorable wind patterns for small pearl-bordered fritillary butterflies.
