Goodwood
combines the glamour of a great English country house with the
warmth of a family home. Still
owned and lived in by the
Earl and Countess of March and their young children, this unique
Sussex house provides a stunning setting for one of the most significant
private art collections in the country. Richly restored to their
original Regency elegance, the State Apartments reflect both the
exoticism and opulence of the period with an Egyptian State Dining
Room, grand Yellow Drawing Room and a breathtaking Ballroom. The
walls are lined with Canaletto's glorious views from the family's
London home and with sporting scenes by George Stubbs which feature
the picturesque local countryside. Colourful birds perch on the
porcelain of the exquisite Sèvres dinner service and fine
French furniture transports visitors back to 18th century Paris.
