Acton Scott Historic Working Farm

Acton Scott Historic Working Farm is one of Britain's leading working farm museums. We specialise in practical demonstrations of historic farming using traditional skills and period horse-drawn machines. You can see farm life unfold on the land, around the farm yard and in the cottage with each day being rounded off with milking by hand. Visitors of all ages will love the Longhorn and Shorthorn cattle, Tamworth pigs, Shropshire sheep, poultry, ducks, geese and heavy horses.

Museum shop and cafe

Shop sells a variety of gifts, traditional household goods, books, souvenirs and ice cream. Throughout the day our cafe offers home cooked hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks in the setting of the newly refurbished and restored School House.

Things To Do:

Discover this beautiful corner of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty through three way-marked routes. These walks have short-cuts for those with less time to explore. Walk guides are available from the museum reception.

The historic market town of Church Stretton is only five minutes away by car. It offers a range of specialist shops and places to eat. The Long Mynd is nearby and at Craven Arms, just four miles to the south, you can find Secret Hills - the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, Stokesay Castle and the Land of Lost Content.

 Access

The farm is mainly wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Disabled parking is available close to the admissions point. Disabled toilets and baby change facilities are available at the admissions point and the School House Cafe. A further disabled toilet (accessed using a Radar Key) is situated close to the farmyard. Guide and Helping Dogs only can be accommodated beyond the car park, as some of our stock roams freely. A small number of manual wheelchairs can be borrowed from the admissions point. The majority of our paths are wheelchair, motorised scooter and buggy friendly. The farmyard has a cobbled surface which may present difficulties to some of our visitors. The way marked walks leading from the farm are managed by Shropshire Council's Countryside Access Team. A small number of exhibition and display areas are not wheelchair or buggy accessible due to the nature of the original buildings.
