โ โ โ โ โ We have been meaning to visit here for sometime. Glad we finally made it, it was a quiet day, we felt like we had the house to ourselves, only spotted one other family late during our visit.
It's a wee bit of the beaten track, hard to think you're in the middle of bustling Newmarket. Enjoying wandering around the house trying to imagine what it would have been to live there in those times. My favourite area was The Boy's Barrack's at the top of the house, even the Playroom was cool. But as the signage informs you, it was warm during the Summer, but cold during the Winter.
Well worth a visit !

โ โ โ โ โ Uninviting, antiseptic and antiquated with ugly colour scheme. Needs at least two picnic tables and benches for relaxing lunch and lovely respite from Westfield hustle & bustle. Awesome potential so come on people!

โ โ โ โ โ 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 mโm sure that i will be visiting highwic again someday!

โ โ โ โ โ 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.

โ โ โ โ โ Went there with a bus tour. We were given a very interesting talk on the history of the house and could ask questions and then we could wander around the beautifully kept house and gardens.

โ โ โ โ โ 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).

โ โ โ โ โ Beautiful gardens and seems there is also a lava cave under one boundary wall. Very mysterious and was just awesome to visit on my own one day.
