Collections at Harewood include Renaissance paintings, Chippendale furniture and work by Turner and Sir Joshua Reynolds. The gardens range from the formal to the lush and the bird garden is the focus for conservation programmes for endangered species including Bali Starlings.
The House, gardens, adventure playground and bird garden are a motivating environment for learning.
