Goldengrove is a fertile and picturesque region in the northern Reach, seated along the Silverdown that flows from the hills near Silverhill southward to Highgarden. It is best known as the seat of [[House Rowan]], whose ancestral castle, Goldengrove, watches over the verdant landscape. <ref name="Reach208">George R. R.

Goldengrove entered the domain of House Gardener, when Garth the Great expanded his kingdom through diplomacy, binding houses like the Rowans to his cause through mutual oaths and peaceful accords.<ref name="Reach211">George R.

However, following the devastating [[Seven Years' War]] between the Reach and the Westerlands, Goldengrove no longer remained under Rowan control. The conflict saw massive losses for the Reach, and as part of the war’s resolution, Goldengrove and its surrounding lands were ceded to [[House Risley]], an Andal house.

King Galayn Gardener was able to reclaim Goldengrove after many years and restored House Rowan to their ancestral seat. The Risleys were subsequently driven out of the Reach.
