    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 3/5 ken g. 2 years ago on Google
    My first time going here . Normally I am not a museum person as find them boring but in fact looking around the gardens , barn and museum there was some interesting things and history to learn so I would not mind going again as its free to go. Was bit busy as there was a school trip so kind of made it a bit busy but I was not that fussed. Would go again . Also if you are a tall person like me mind your head when looking around the museum as it is a small place you could say. KEN

    This free local museum and park was a great recent find for our family. There is parking, a good outdoor space with playground, a very reasonably priced café, and a well thought through museum in an old manor house, telling the history of Harrow. The team running the museum have really tried to make it engaging for all ages with trails, activity packs and interactive sections.

    Came here for a wedding in the big barn… It is a fantastic venue for weddings and any event really. Large hall, good toilet facilities and catering. Parking on sight which is free. What more can you ask for!

    A great park for kids with a nice playground and lots of green space, along with Headstone Manor itself which offers local history exhibits and play activities for young children. In a seperate building is an activity centre which is usually open (subject to occassional private events) where all ages can do drawing and colouring.

  • 4/5 Sarah K. 2 years ago on Google
    Really interesting place, lots to see and definitely worth the visit, as a lot to see. Lovely guy on reception Disappointing that there was no bike parking spaces/racks. Also the cafe server was rather loud as she went about, and didn't seem at all happy that she was there, very curt
