Acton Scott Historic Working Farm

Loved this place. In a world full of commercial themed places to go that dampen the soul, this is a fun and enjoyable place that is untouched by time. The staff are friendly and helpful and food is great. ( Coffee is a bit odd).

The title was the word my 7 year old Grandaughter used to describe her day. She has been to every farm, National Trust property and tourist venues in both Shropshire, North Wales and the West Midlands and always wants to return to Acton Scott. It is by far her favourite. We spent 6.5 hours here and all enjoyed every minute. It is a step back in time with a lovely setting, wonderful atmosphere and amazing staff. It is a true farm not a venue trying to compete with something it isn't. You won't find razzmatazz or gimmicky lures. It is a welcome relief from the commercial approach a lot have taken.
Please don't change it anymore you have a true treasure which has a special place in this modern world.

When we visited we arrived early at 1000. Greeting was friendly as were all farm workers throughout the day. Wonderful setting and we were treated to a fascinating display of how to put an iron tyre onto a cartwheel. Shire horses were stunning and the man looking after them made our children feel safe and happy. Finished off with a super home made lunch. Excellent day out.

A fun day out with lots to see. There are a variety of animals to see and there are often demonstrations on traditional skills such a butter making to watch. There is a cafe and there is also a gift shop.

We obviously heard about this place because of the TV series, so though we'd check it out. To be fair we didn't have high expectations and those expectations were spot on. There's not a great deal to see or do really. Not sure if we just went on a quiet day (mid week in early may), so we didn't stay for that long. You can spend 2 or 3 hrs here, if you stop for some lunch in the old schoolhouse (which does some nice food, but is a little pricey... Tourist pricing rather than comparable to the area). The staff are friendly and knowledgeable (sorry, you won't see any TV stars working there).. and if you're lucky they may be feeding the lambs or ducklings/chics. We got to feed a lamb and hold some of the chics and ducklings, and in one of the cottages they had a couple in Victorian clothing making some kind of pancakes that farm workers often took with them.. they were generous with the samples too. 😀

A lot to see including historic tools, processes, machines, farm property and housing. Close up and sometimes hands on animal encounters. Ideal size for a day visit.

Mid week early July visit. Very interesting but more demonstrators could have been present. A nice size site for a day visit with lots of close up animal encounters.

Our children love it here. There are just enough changes year to year so that the adults don't get too bored, and the children can spend a happy 2 hours here easily, especially if the horses are working.

We love Acton Scott. We have bought a season ticket each year since we moved to the area. It is a favourite place for us and our grandson. Beautiful Shropshire countryside as well.

Great place to visit the volunteers are very knowledgeable and explain how things work back in the day. They also hold courses and also cater for having school trips.
