Harefield is a village in the London Borough of Hillingdon in northwest London, England. It is situated on top of a hill, 17 miles (27 km) northwest of Charing Cross, near the Greater London boundary with Buckinghamshire to the west and Hertfordshire to the north. The area is famous for its local hospital, Harefield Hospital, where pioneering heart surgery techniques were developed. It was an ancient parish in the county of Middlesex.
The model hare contained within a large globe is a unique feature at Harefield Village Green. The British Isles and Australia are depicted on the globe, celebrating the strong link between Harefield and Australia. An Australian military hospital was set up in Harefield for WWI wounded soldiers. There are also ANZAC memorials in the village.
There are a couple of very good multi caches locally which are well worth your time while in the area, plus many traditional caches and some fiercely difficult puzzles!
If anybody would like to expand this series please do. I would just ask that you let SmokeyPugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
