Acton Scott Historic Working Farm

Acton Scott Historic Working Farm shows what life was like on a Shropshire hill farm at the start of the 20th century. At this time, the horse was the main source of power and therefore no tractors are used here. As the name suggests, this is a working museum. We show seasonal farming activities, craft skills and the home life of the people who lived and worked here.

The farm provides wonderful opportunities for all ages of students to learn about a wide range of subjects in the beautiful surroundings of the Shropshire Hills.
