So great to see Acton Scott Heritage Farm open and in full swing for harvest! The tea rooms are a hidden gem!

Visit twice a year. It's a lovely relaxing day out and the people there are so nice. Love it!
Update:
Not been since 2020, but noticed they have greatly reduced their opening days and increased their prices. A very sad and bad move all round!

Nice visit with the family while staying nearby. Friendly staff. Lovely to see the old farm, machinery etc. a few activities on for the younger kids. Probably stayed just over an hour. Maybe a little pricey for what you got.

A lovely heritage farm with pleasant and friendly staff. The staff provided excellent knowledge surrounding the site and its heritage. There are activities throughout the site and staff on hand for support.

We had a wonderful day at Acton Scott farm!My 2 granddaughters loved seeing Edward the shire horse and as we all gathered around to see him being tacked up, he ‘passed’ an enormous amount of wind which ALL the children and adults enjoyed enormously! We managed to get Dulcie the HUGE pig to come out of her sty by throwing her a large apple. She was amazing and very funny. Wonderful also to be able to tell the grandchildren that all the farming equipment that we saw would have been used by their great, great poppa a few miles down the road in Tenbury Wells. Nice lunch- cafe a bit overwhelmed. Great day.

Had a lovely couple of hours at the farm
Very informative lovely to see how things used to be run. Great to see the shire horses. What really makes this place is the people who work there . Ann in the garden was passionate about what she does and we came away with lots of tips.
Also, the old washing days with the wringer and tub. Thanks for a lovely time

Lovely heritage farm. The Shire Horses are so handsome and we got to watch Edward have new shoes fitted as well as a harness demonstration. Wonderful day out young or old.

Absolutely brilliant day out, very relaxed and the volunteers were so friendly and full of information. We had such a lovely time just wondering about, taking in all the sights and sounds. There was so much information to read and I have to say, the animals were in wonderful condition and looked after so well!

A great day out, if you're looking for loads of things to see you'll be dissapointed...but if you talk to the folks there, listen as they tell you about the place, it's a treasure trove of knowledge. We'd been there an hour & only reached the cafe, which was handy as it was lunch time. Food was great, freshly made & the sponge cake was the best I'd had in a long while.
We certainly return.

We throughly enjoyed our visit to Acton Scott Farm. Whilst there we were lucky enough to see Edward the shire horse in work during a hay making demonstration. Staff were all very friendly, kind and informative.
Our children were fascinated with the farm machinery and all of the animals.
We will definitely be returning in the future.

Really high quality, authentic experience at Acton Scott, which we'd heard so much about. All the activities were appropriate and well delivered, with the in-character staff both knowledgeable and friendly. The scenery provides the perfect backdrop for timeless reenactment of historic pastimes, which were also fun to get up close to and try first hand. Cafe is superb and would be great to visit again even without rentering the farm. Don't forget to call in at hatton farm just up the road for fresh organic milk from their vending machine too!

A great place to visit with family. We heard a very interesting talk on shire horses, saw some spinning visited the herb garden and loved seeing the calves. The cafe lunch was good. Even better when all the old machinery, butter making, barrel making etc it back up and running as it used to be.

This is a great day out. Staff are friendly, informative, and inspirational. If you have an interest in history, rural matters and/or Shropshire, I would recommend a visit. There’s also a cafe selling fabulous bakes!

We had a great time visiting Acton Scott. It was really interesting seeing how farming and life was. When we went, there was a demonstration of sheep shearing and working the shire horses. The scenery around the farm is stunning. Paths are well made up. The farm yard is cobbled. So if you are not confident on your feet, then you will need to take care.

Beautiful day out. Great food in the Cafe. Tour was engaging and definitely worth doing. The kids loved the Shire horses, sheep, chickens, and pig.
