Harleston has never had a fire so an amazing proportion of its mediaeval Hall Houses survive in the compact Town Centre although much altered and disguised over the years. Find where they are and discover the escapades of a number of their occupants over the years. Finish your tour with a visit to The Swan and a related exhibition – the Iconic Hall House .

Participating properties in the commercial centre of Harleston will exhibit a poster with a brief description. There will be a QR code to further information.

A printed copy of the trail can be picked up from Harleston Information Plus on Exchange Street.

This trail has been created for Heritage Open Days 2025 and will be added to a growing list of building information throughout Harleston. The trail for 2024 was Now and Then looking back at 1600 Harleston.
