Godolphin

For the thoroughbred horse racing stables, see Godolphin stables.

The Godolphin Estate, is located near Helston, Cornwall, England, is the seat of the Duke of Leeds. It contains a Tudor/Stuart mansion, complete with early formal gardens (dating from circa 1500) and Elizabethan stables (circa 1600). The present house is remnant of a larger mansion. At one time it was a secondary seat of the Dukes of Leeds, but they sold it in 1929.

The National Trust acquired 555 acres (2.2 km²) of the estate in 2000 and is developing public access to this land. There are fine views of west Cornwall from Godolphin Hill. The house remains privately owned.
