Godinton House

It is 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of the centre of the town of Ashford, Kent, UK.

The gardens include one of the longest Yew hedges in England, as well as having spectacular displays of delphiniums, irises, wild flowers and roses.

[1] Around the turn of the century (19th/20th) then owner Mr. Ashley Dodd hired the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield to update the house and redesign the gardens.

Blomfield planted the famous yew hedge, shaped to repeat the gable form seen on the house.

Since Major Wyndham-Green's passing in 1996 the Trust has continued to preserve, restore, and enhance the house and parklands.
