Welcome to our Estate
I'm delighted to welcome you to Goodwood.com. As with everything we do at Goodwood, this website has been designed to reflect our passion for excellence; for our guests, customers and for our partners. We aim to enhance the experiences of visitors to the estate and our events, while also reaching like-minded people around the world.
The past
The first Duke of Richmond, son of King Charles II, chose Goodwood as his country retreat and bought the original Jacobean house in 1697.

Corridors of tunnels beneath Goodwood House were once filled with exotic animals to surprise female guests and allow the men to look heroic!
Dancing into Battle
Described as “the most famous ball in history”, the 1815 gathering held in Brussels by the Duchess of Richmond, shortly before the battle of Waterloo, continues to inspire film-makers, authors and artists.
Royal descendents
The Dukes of Richmond descend from the natural son of Charles II by his mistress, Louise de Keroualle. This son, Charles Lennox, was made Duke of Richmond and Lennox amongst other titles
The Sport of Kings
Goodwood is synonymous with racing: the first public race meeting took place here in 1802.
RAF Westhampnett
Originally serving as a Battle of Britain base during the War, Goodwood Motor Circuit was the centre of British motor racing between 1948 and 1966, playing host to some of the greatest drivers of all time.

The present
Today, we are recognised around the world for our flagship events and are known as the home of exceptional luxury experiences.

The 1.16-mile hillclimb has been the centre of the action since the first festival in 1993.
Both the Racecourse and the Motor Circuit are busy all year round, within the Motor Circuit is Goodwood Aerodrome, our historic airfield.
Our 11,000 acre estate is best experienced from a stay in one of our charming cottages, Goodwood Hotel, or luxury sporting lodge.
Goodwood is also famous for our food. We control every aspect of production, from the fields where cattle, sheep and pigs graze to the in-house butchery and eventually to the kitchen – where the dishes are created.
Farmer, Butcher Chef delivers on its promise. Beautiful meat, butchered and cooked with the reverence it so rightly deserves.
