Harvington Hall is a beautiful moated manor house with the largest surviving series of priest hides in the country and a rare collection of original Elizabethan wall paintings. Originally built in the 1300s and developed magnificently in the late 1500s, Harvington Hall brings to life the fascinating history of the survival of Roman Catholic families and clergymen during the Reformation of the late sixteenth century. A moated island is home to a variety of wildlife. The gardens boast a formal knot garden and courtyard, a wildflower garden and cottage-style floral borders. The Moatside Tearoom offers superb homemade cakes and scones and light lunches.

Entry to Hall, Malt House Visitor Centre & Gardens: Adults £12.50 Seniors £11.50.
