Why not visit one of Harlow’s hidden secrets - the walled gardens that surround Harlow Museum in Muskham Road?

Dating back to the 16th Century, the museum walls contain: • the unusual fruits garden home to Figs, Quince, Bitter Orange and Medlar trees; • the formal 17th Century garden, with low hedging, old roses and herbs; • the Peace Garden, with wide borders and grassed areas (perfect for a summer picnic) The gardens are maintained by a small group of volunteers who meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-3pm. For more information on becoming a volunteer please contact corrinadunlea@gmail.com Entry to the museum and gardens is free, with free parking in the car park to the rear of the museum, off Fesants Croft.
