Rodd Court Entrance

About

Led by knowledgeable guide Alisdair, this one-hour experience offers a rare opportunity to explore the stories, architecture, and character of this remarkable building.

Completed around 1630 by William Rodd, the house formed the heart of the Rodd farm and estate, set within the striking landscape of the Hindwell River valley. Remarkably little altered over the centuries, it retains much of its original charm and detail.
This Grade II* listed building has a fascinating and varied past—from its role in developing renowned Hereford cattle bloodlines to its later life as a creative retreat for 20th-century artists. It was most notably the home of Australian modernist Sir Sidney Nolan and his wife Mary, who together established a charitable trust here as a rural centre for the arts.

Admission: £10 per person

Ticket also includes full access to The Rodd's grounds and gallery on the day.
