Our local park where we absolutely enjoy with the kids playing in good facilities. Well taken care of and maintained. It's very big to the extent you can have nice picnics under large trees for shelter and shade. I used to play tennis in this park in my younger days but these unfortunately haven't been maintained. There is a lovely moat (water body) going around the museum/barn and a lovely location for ducks and other birds. Recently a large space was used for apple and pear orchards. Lots to explore. There is a local barn cafe that serves hot food/ drinks and ice cream. A cricket ground can be appreciated by watching a Sunday match. There is a local park gym next to the children's park and a small area for basketball. The car park is big enough that you will always find space except for event days. Highly recommended. Quaint and peaceful.

Wow what a hidden treasure just discovered this place after a recommendation from a friend my 2 boys enjoyed walking around the museum and completing the treasure trail - really quirky museum of the history of harrow really informative and interesting. The moat cafe was really reasonably priced ( me and 2 kids had toasties / cake / crisps and hot drinks all under £12) they have books and colouring for the kids, lovely cake and hot drinks few options for breakfast and lunch. We will definitely return also a great park just next door which the kids enjoyed. Staff were really friendly I think most are volunteers would of been nice to have a guided tour or staff on hand to give talks or information especially during half term.

It's free with a donation at will box. Interesting exhibition about the life of Harrow, which was not so dull as one (read me xD) would imagine. Much love and care was put into organization and it shows! Lovely cafe in front and a mallard pond. There are also beautiful parks on both sides of the facility as well as other bird species to see, such as the King fisher, which i was so thrilled about! You can buy duck food for 50p in the cafe and enjoy some quacking company.

There are massive works in progress here at the moment. These are funded by lottery money. It will be a much improved place once all the works are completed. At the moment the kids' play area is closed off. The cafe and museum are also closed. There isn't much you can do at the moment except stroll through there or have a picnic. The children might enjoy watching and feeding the ducks and some aquatic birds in the moat. Do pay heed to the signs that advise people not to feed bread to the birds; peas and sweet corns are ok.

  • Firdaus Haque

I absolutely love this museum. If you live in or around Harrow you shouldn't miss visiting. It's the most picturesque museum in and around London. It's got really fun activities for kids and is equally intriguing for adults. With a cafeteria, ample parking space and a kids play area just outside the premises, this is the perfect place to spend a lovely weekend morning or afternoon. Check the opening times before you visit.

  • Doug Neilson

Beautifully presented museum. The buildings are the star - old Manor House, with moat, barns and other buildings well restored. Contents tell history of Harrow area from neolithic to present, with emphasis on last 100 years. Cannot necessarily enter all buildings as large Barn may be hired out for events, and Granary may be in use for school visits. Nice new cafe also. Easy access and parking close by.

  • Candice Adams

We booked a open heritage day activity here and it was brilliant. The staff were friendly and very knowledge about the local area and history. We had lunch over looking the moat, fed the ducks and had a nosey round the museum. The walk round the moat is closed at the moment for repairs but its a really great afternoon out. We'll be back once the moat re opens. Highly recommend for younger families.

Very lovely place to spend quality time. Very well maintained by volunteers, lovely trees, I felt like hugging the tree _ picture included. Good access for disabled. Exhibition of Harrow is an eye opener about the history of Harrow and other things. Excellent place for all age children. There are also pictures of places you can visit in Harrow. I have included them.

  • Kashif Maqbool

Went here on a warm, sunny day and the place looked beautiful. They had an Easter egg hunt running during our visit which was well put together and the kids really enjoyed it. The museum was also very interesting to walk through, containing some great pieces of history. The surrounding area was very pretty and tranquil. Nice place to spend a couple of hours.

This is very nice park with a good museum. Nice playing area for kids. Good for walking. It’s under development so when they finish should be very nice place. Free entry to Museum with free parking which is very good for family to save money on a day out. So would definitely recommend and go there again.

Really thoughtfully put together museum. Peaceful on the day that I was there but I have a feeling the grounds would be a lot busier on a sunny day. Such rich history was here and very thoroughly documented to the best of their ability! I'll have to come back with the littles! More

Went here for a wedding reception. I was in the band/entertainment. Beautiful setting and the building and area has had lots of money thrown at it. Didn't go in to museum, but there's lots to look at including a new cafe.
