Tourist Attractions in Shrewsbury
An educational, entertaining day out near Shrewsbury. Highlights incl. a GPS treasure trail, simulated balloon ride and life size replica of a woolly mammoth! The centre focuses on interactivity and is perfect for the whole family or school trips.
Loved learning about the mammoth and the history of the beautiful surrounding Shropshire countryside. The film gives a great overview of both the history and beauty of the area. Lots of lovely walks are signposted from here, with a range of distances. We then enjoyed some well priced drinks at the cafe, served by friendly staff. Finally picked up some items for Christmas gifts from the shop, lots of choice and some great value items.

This tourist attraction near Shrewsbury is packed with live demonstrations that reflect the real workings of a Victorian farm, as seen on BBC2's 'Victorian Farm'. Watch the blacksmith in his forge! Gasp at the huge Shire horses! Ideal for families, groups and school trips.
Our second visit to the farm and it was just as good as our previous visit. If your into history or even farming, Acton Scott is the place to go. Watching the heavy horses doing what they do best is a wonderful sight but your reminded that …MoreOur second visit to the farm and it was just as good as our previous visit. If your into history or even farming, Acton Scott is the place to go. Watching the heavy horses doing what they do best is a wonderful sight but your reminded that Shire horses are now more endangered than Pandas. The only downside to our visit was that many of the displays that we had seen in our previous visit weren't there and the hand milking of the cows, which I had the privilege to take part in and had enjoyed greatly last time, had been stopped some time ago. All this said and done, I would definitely recommend this place and would definitely go again.
