Walk through a bygone age, when life was slower, when manpower was the order of the day and a honest days work was the yardstick off prosperity. See the workhorses using horse power to till and harvest the land, the unique relationship between man and beast as they both strove to utilise the fruits of nature. Allow yourself to slow down to walking pace, look at and enjoy and admire the things that nature gives so freely, breathe in, relax, forget the Hurly-burly of our modern age and replenish your batteries, join the Victorian age through the experience of Acton Scot Farm.

We had a really lovely day on this Victorian farm. Staff were great and animals likewise. We bottle fed lambs, helped to make a cart wheel, watched the blacksmith and Joe the horse doing a bit of field work and learnt about lace. Not to mention the small animals. The cafe food was tasty too. It is well organised so that school and group trips are on separate days to the general public so the site seemed quite quiet. If we lived in Shropshire we would be frequent visitors.

Had a great day with my 2 x 3year olds. The farm is run as a historic farm and everything feels authentic and not faulse.
Staff are brilliant very friendly and talkative whilst they carry on their work be it making butter or ploughing the fields by horse.
Kids loved it both exploring the farm and miriade of opportunities for animal bothering but there is also a large sand pit and toys.
Cafe looked good and in expensive. There are also plenty of picnic oportunities too.

We had grandchildren 6,4,3, q1
They found the place perfect and some went back a couple of days later. Staff so helpful with showing children how farming was and handling animals. Great day out and thank you to the county council for maintaining it.
Staff superb

My wife and i were in Ludlow for the weekend so we decided to visit the farm even though a lot of people seemed to think it`s mainly for children. Well we are 61 and 58 and had a cracking day out there. Firstly, the animals, who does not looove baby piglets, we sat in an enclosed small field and 9 piglets came trotting right by us, wonderful, they have horses, cows, calves, all different birds and goats and many more.You can watch then making honey from there own bees, A women dressed in the period making butter from scratch, a women making scones on an open fire.this is a day out for children yes but the adults cannot fail to love it as well. In a nutshell this is a great day out for all ages and plenty to do and see which i have not mentioned. Will return when we are "older" for sure.

We visited Acton Scot working farm today. It's a well organised attraction with plenty to do and see. Lots of animals for the children, Cow, pigs, goats, hens, horses, ducks. At this time of the year, most of them have young too, there's even a perspex sided bee hive that you can view. This museum was where they filmed "A Victorian Farm" also a "Wartime farm" . There are plenty of exhibits in the form of old farm implements, buildings of the era. Lots to learn. There's a cottage cafe on site if you need to buy food, but my advice would be to pack a picnic, there are plenty of places to sit. Whilst your eating, the chickens etc will wander around you. Allow yourself a good few hours to wander at your leisure.

The farm is a very good visit for both adults and children.
It has a variety of exhibits plus many practical demonstrations of farming techniques from Victorian times. There a plenty of animals to keep the young children interested with the opportunity to feed the lambs and chickens.
The cafe serves a good lunch selection at a fair price.
