Goodnestone Park House,
Goodnestone, Kent CT3 1PL
Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, Goodnestone can be reached from London by taking a train to Canterbury and then a 20 minute taxi ride. The journey by car is around 90 minutes and under 30 minutes from Dover.
Access and public transport
The only vehicular access to the gardens is through the village of Goodnestone – drive past the school, the FitzWalter Arms pub and village church and you will arrive at the car park. For satnav directions please use CT3 1PJ.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to reach the Goodnestone Park via public transport. The nearest train station is two miles away at Adisham (unstaffed).
