Farming Victorian Style


Acton Scott farm is an historic working farm, which means that much like Portsmouth's Strawbery Banke it is a living museum. There were costumed farm workers stoking fires, baking bread and tilling fields with warmblood horses. However, the most interesting aspect of the farm was of course the animals. Since it is spring we saw lots of baby animals including lambs, chicks, duckling, calfs and piglets. We had a good time wandering around the farm and watching the animals. There were also lots of picturesque antique farm equipment and some lovely old buildings.
