Carrick Hill

Carrick Hill is a heritage-listed historic house, art museum and garden estate in Springfield, City of Mitcham, South Australia, on the Adelaide foothills. Built 1937-1939 as the home of Sir Edward and Lady Ursula Hayward, the Elizabethan-style manor houses an important collection of Australian and British art. Set on approximately 40 hectares with formal and woodland gardens, it is notable for its architecture, art collection and panoramic views over Adelaide.

Visitors can explore the preserved 1930s Elizabethan manor house with period interiors and an art collection including works by Australian artists such as William Dobell and Russell Drysdale, as well as British paintings, sculpture and antiques. Surrounds include formal gardens, woodland, lawns and bushland with walking trails, a Story Book Trail for children, and viewpoints over the Adelaide Plains to the coast. The site includes a café, gift shop and exhibition spaces with guided tours available.

Built between 1937 and 1939 for Sir Edward Hayward and Lady Ursula Hayward to a design by architect James Irwin in English manor style. The Haywards bequeathed the house, collection and grounds to the State of South Australia, opening to the public in 1985. It is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register as an example of interwar elite domestic architecture and philanthropy.

Houses a nationally significant art collection assembled by the Haywards, including Australian modernist works and British art, and functions as a cultural venue for exhibitions, artist residencies, education programs and community events reflecting South Australia's artistic heritage.
