An exquisite stately home and grounds
Goodnestone Park is a vast, privately-owned estate located in the heart of the stunning Kent countryside, just an hour’s journey from London. The large, grand house was first built in 1704 and is steeped in a rich history, including frequent visits from the famous novelist Jane Austen. Our magnificent grounds have undergone many impressive changes making Goodnestone Park among the top choice of gardens to visit in Kent.
