Set in 12,000 acres of rolling Sussex
Downland, Goodwood has long been famous for both its natural beauty and
its legendary hospitality.
The home of the Dukes of Richmond for over 300 years, Goodwood House,
designed by James Wyatt, contains one of the finest collections of
English paintings and French porcelain and furniture in England. The
Regency State Apartments are adorned with views of London by Canaletto;
sporting scenes depicting the Estate, by Stubbs; and family and royal
portraits by Van Dyck, Lely and Reynolds, as well as an unique
collection of Sèvres porcelain, decorated with colourful and exotic
birds, commissioned at the factory in the 18th century. |
