Days Out And Attractions in Shrewsbury
Acton Scott Historic Working Farm is a fantastic day out in rural Shropshire. Jam-packed packed with live demonstrations that reflect the real workings of a Victorian farm, Acton Scott is perfect for kids or the kid in you! It is also available as a film location, and was famously featured in BBC2's ratings success 'Victorian Farm'.
Used to love taking the children here but nowadays it says online that it is temporarily closed

An educational yet entertaining day out in Shropshire. From GPS treasure trails to simulated balloon rides and a life size replica of a woolly mammoth, it can only be the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre! Perfect for the whole family or school trips.
Very compact centre , within walking distance of Craven Arms station. OS maos for sale , always a good sign. We made a few impulse purchases for Grandson - wide range of prices for goods. Also had a look at cafe , we regretted having eaten at Subway as food looked very good.
Bought a pack of local walks and chose the shortest to do. This is where the rating drops unfortunately. Firstly we could it find the route over a small bridge at the start. A local saw us wandering aimlessly and asked if ever “looking for the bridge” . Apparently she gets asked often for this information ! A small sign on the pathway would be of great help , it is in the centre’s grounds. At the end of the trail we followed what we thought were the instructions and ended up outside the town with a walk on a busy A road without a footpath into town. Again a local helped with a cut through a housing estate. Maybe the routes need re visiting ?
Otherwise this is a little gem of a place !
