School Grounds
Harrow School is not built on a campus: it is fully integrated into the surrounding area; there are private houses and shops on Harrow Hill, and the main road through Harrow Hill is a normal public highway and indeed a bus route. Harrow School is made up of some 400 acres (160 ha) of playing fields, tennis courts, golf course, woodland and gardens.
Harrrow School also owns its own working farm. Currently on the farm are a herd of Longhorn cattle and a flock of Shetland sheep. Until 2003 it was a working dairy farm.
