Home to the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and Gordon, the Grade I listed building and grounds combine history and activity with a whole new level of opulence and excitement. So where to begin?
Built in the 1600s, Goodwood House takes pride of place resting at the foot of the Sussex Downs. Housing one of the largest art collections in the country, visitors to Goodwood are invited to take guided tours of the country house and home. Tours will take you around the State Apartments and Old House, revealing lots of history, information about the extensive art collection and, perhaps, a little bit of gossip too.
The fascination with Goodwood extends far beyond its walls, though. Home to an impressive array of attractions that would leave anyone wide-eyed, Goodwood is truly unlike anywhere else. Boasting a motorsports track, airfield, two golf courses, racecourse, cricket pitch and more, all tastes are catered for in total style.
A world-famous sporting estate, Goodwood also hosts annual events including its Festival of Speed, The Goodwood Revival and Qatar Goodwood Festival. Attracting over half a million guests each year, the wonders of Goodwood never cease.
Find out when their next event is taking place or book yourself a guided tour and soak in the fabulous interiors of the house. Combining the “glamour of a great English country house with the warmth of a family home”, Goodwood House and Estate are not to be missed.
