Today Shugborough is the UK's only Complete Working Historic Estate and a world class visitor attraction. Over a quarter of a million people visit the restored working environments on the estate including working kitchens, dairy, water mill, brewhouse and Farm all manned by historic costumed guides. For a terrific family day out Shugborough takes some beating. Not only will children be captivated by our innovative storytelling of the past and interactive demonstrations they can also let their hair down over acres and acres of walks, trails and parkland. Children and adults alike will love the rare breeds at the farm and a ride (or two) on 'Lucy the Train' is a must - after all it's included in the price of admission!
