Goddards offers a gentler, garden-first kind of heritage day out on the edge of York, centred on the former home of the Terry family of chocolate fame. Rather than full stately-house grandeur, the appeal here is in its Arts and Crafts-style garden rooms, fragrant borders, orchard, kitchen garden and peaceful terraces, all with a slightly tucked-away feel. It suits visitors who want a calmer, more intimate escape with history woven through it, especially if the idea of York chocolate heritage plus a lovely garden wander sounds like your kind of afternoon.

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome in the gardens and outdoor areas, where there is plenty to sniff at a gentler pace. Keep leads on where required, tidy up properly and leave the formal flowerbed critiques to the humans.
