Godolphin Estate, House and Gardens Video Produced by Paul Dinning - Wildlife in Cornwall The Godolphin Estate is a National Trust property situated in Godolphin Cross, 7 km north-west of Helston in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The Estate is the former seat of the Dukes of Leeds and the Earls of Godolphin. It contains a Tudor/Stuart mansion, complete with early formal gardens and Elizabethan stables. The present house is remnant of a larger mansion. At one time it was a secondary seat of the Dukes of Leeds, but the Duke sold it in 1929. The Godolphin Estate came into the ownership of the National Trust in 2007. The Estate measures 550 acres. The Trust has been improving public access to the Estate. Godolphin Hill provides views over west Cornwall. More than 400 recorded archaeological features range from Bronze Age enclosures to 19th-century mine buildings.
