Haden Hill House
About This Museum
You'd never guess that this sprawling Victorian fantasy, complete with turrets and ornate chimneys, sits just a stone's throw from the industrial buzz of the Black Country. Stepping inside is like walking into a family home where the 19th century never ended, with every room from the grand hall to the cozy library telling a different story. I spent ages just marveling at the intricate wallpaper and the way the light falls through the stained glass. And honestly, you can't leave without popping into their charming tea room for a proper cuppa and a slice of cake—it’s an essential part of the experience.

Look for the stunning collection of Victorian toys that will make you nostalgic for an era you never lived in, and don't miss the beautifully preserved servants' quarters downstairs which offer a fascinating glimpse into 'below stairs' life.
