Acton Scott Historic Working Farm
About
Acton Scott Historic Working Farm is a wonderful visitor attraction for all the family to enjoy.Founded by Thomas Acton to keep alive the19th-century farming practices he grew up with,the farm was the first of its kind and has been much copied since.Thomas's foresight has helped to preserve many traditions that might otherwise have been lost to modern-day farming techniques.
The Historic Working Farm offers an interesting insight into rural life at the turn of the 19th century,as farm life unfolds daily while the land around is worked by heavy horses.There are daily demonstrations of period skills,providing a picture of life as it might have been on a Victorian country estate.Special events and traditional craft (技藝) and trade courses to learn about the forgotten skills of the past run throughout the year.
The Old School,originally built by Frances Stackhouse Acton in the late 19th century to educate children,has been recently restored and is now an attractive cafe.It serves home-cooked hot and cold meals,snacks and drinks.
