Lovely school holiday trip to explore this huge mansion. Very kid friendly with the search and find activities. Clipboards and pencils provided! The gardens were also a fun place to explore.
If you are a little in love with the beauty of the past, this place will not disappoint. My partner and I were the only ones there and we took our time exploring and delighting in the details of how well made things were. Also intriguing to think of the relationship between the lady of the house and her unpaid companion. The companion was chosen by the dying first wife to become the next and care for the children (as well as having many more). The garden is lovely and I'd recommend dressing up in old fashioned clothes and having a picnic! I wish it was a bit cheaper and then I'd visit more often (10 entry).
Absolutely wonderful experience, the staff were lovely and I would definitely recommend highwic to people, thank you
A lovely spot tucked away in plain sight. Worth a visit
I felt like I had gone back in time the moment I entered this house. Was fascinating to see how life was, a little over a century ago. The man who worked there was very nice and helpful, and educated us on some extra interesting facts. Nice to do if you have a couple of hours to spare!
What an amazing experience I had today, the moment I entered on the hill I felt like I m in 1920s, the house itself is beautiful and the receptionist RUTH was just amazing. while she was explaining me everything about the Buckland family tree , I felt like that I m In that time when stories happened in highwic...such an amazing in day this house. I was going out and coming back so many times as I liked it so much. everything inside the house is a kind of story. I must say, People who like history and visiting historical houses should must visit here. I even felt like If i stayed over there longer , I might gonna end up bringing my bags to stay over there. Very Peaceful. I m’m sure that i will be visiting highwic again someday!
The historical place is nice and very good conserved it's worth it to visit.
