period brick-built Palladian-style mansion at Goodenstone Park, in Kent.
Queen Anne period brick-built Palladian-style mansion at Goodenstone Park, in Kent. Goodnestone Park was built in 1704 and was surrounded initially by a formal garden of the times, all neatly compartmentalised and geometric. These lasted less than a century and in the 1770s a landscape park replaced them. More changes were made between the two world wars and in 1960 the present gardens began to materialise. Regarded now as one of the finest country gardens in England. Ursula Buchan, writing in The Daily Telegraph said, “there is a beautifully kept 17th century walled garden, an 18th century landscape park, 20th century woodland, a Millennium parterre, and a brilliant new gravel garden”. Add to this the new Rill Garden, completed in 2009. A good Nursery Garden concentrates on selling stock propagated from the garden plants.
