Visited the farm with my wife, son (4) and niece (7) and it's hard to tell who had the best time! Loved seeing the hens and roosters wandering about and also feeding the lambs. The kids loved the old schoolroom and playing dress up (minor argument over who got to be the 'teacher') and the ploughmans lunch was amazing. Still feel like there's lots to see and do, so will be back once the sunburn has gone down!

Spent a sunny day here. A friend wheeled me around in a wheelchair as I had a new knee joint. All around the farm which looks absolutely Victorian there are animals - a big cart horse in the main yard pulling a wheel around which is grinding corn for flour, pig styes with cute baby piglets, and more. The scenes of white geese and wicker baskets and cobbled areas lent a whole charm to the atmosphere. I'm an adult and I loved it. Children would love the whole day out, itswell worth a visit and for a whole day.

What a fabulous visit! Lunch was delicious nothing was too much trouble including food allergy help. The farm is a fantastic Victorian experience with plenty of people to answer questions. Then we helped feed the lambs and the calves, watched Dusty the donkey working in the field and met horses, chickens, ducks, kids of the goat variety and cats. All the young animals were delightful this is a not to be missed attraction.

A great time to explore a little working farm. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Shire horses were stunning. Lots of demonstrations through the day; cart rides , wood working, etc.
Cafe serves excellent food and served in the old school house .
Any kids that love animals will have a great time.

We spent a fantastic day at the farm and enjoyed every moment. All of the staff were very approachable and passionate, which made each exhibit really engaging. Our son was able to be hands on with all of the animals and exhibits and this really caught his imagination. We will definitely be back for a repeat visit!

This was our first visit to Acton Scott with family members (the youngest being a 4 year old) and we had a wonderful day. The youngest member of our party had the experience of feeding a lamb and holding a chick which she loved. She also enjoyed 'milking a cow' (not a real one this time) and we had lunch in the School House Café which we can highly recommend. Staff were friendly and informative and we were so glad that we had decided to visit as we all enjoyed the 'step back in time' experience. Weather was amazing and so were the views.

Exceptional experience. So much knowledge and wisdom so willingly shared by those working at the Farm. The animals were such characters, and although Ruth, Peter and Alex were not around, the place was so rich with passionate teachers and fabulous "live" exhibits. A special thanks to the lady who drew us a map of how to walk back to Church Stretton... it was an experience of a life time!

Acton Scott is a truly excellent day out. At this time of the year, there are lots of baby animals to see and we were lucky enough to be able to hold chicks and ducklings and to help to feed the lambs. We had a wonderfully informative tour from Mike, who really gave us an idea of life on the farm and we learned some fascinating facts about plants and wool dyeing. We can't wait to go back.

Spent a few hours here wandering around the farm seeing the animals being fed, the shire horses being groomed by the children from the school party before being harnessed to a silage cutter and taken out to the field to cut the grass. Lots of baby animals at this time of year. The cafe in the Schoolhouse is well worth a visit. Lots going on to see and join in with.

This was my third visit to Acton Scott in three years with a school party and was probably the best yet. Lots of activities and things to see. We had a great time! The staff are patient and friendly, even when you've got 40 odd children with you and really help to make your visit special. There's a meeting room where you can leave bags and have lunch if the weather is bad. We were fortunate to have glorious weather so had a picnic outside.
An excellent attraction for all ages.
