Haslemere Educational Museum is a long-established independent museum in Haslemere, Waverley, West Sussex, founded in 1888 by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson. Inside you'll find three large permanent galleries covering geology, natural history and human history, alongside two temporary exhibition rooms, a library, archive and dedicated education room, drawing on collections of over 240,000 natural history specimens and 140,000 human history artefacts. Outside, the grounds spread over 15,000 square metres with a pond, gazebo, observation beehive and a tree trail through an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with National Trust land nearby for walks. It suits families, students and anyone curious about science, history and the natural world. The museum is close to Haslemere station, just 0.6 miles away, and there are 11 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, making it easy to combine with a wider Surrey visit.
