Which Afternoon Tea in Shropshire Will You Choose?

There's not only options but a plethora of reasons why you should come to Shropshire and once you’ve come to have an afternoon treat, you’ll want to explore other things to do.

The three deck passenger boat is great for children and adults alike and the onboard commentary from the tour guide fills you with local information and funny anecdotes about the area,
Once you’re all sailed out, you can take the short walk into Shrewsbury to a local supplier of afternoon tea where you can enjoy a traditional cream tea.
Alpaca's & Scones
For those that like to keep their feet firmly on the ground, an afternoon tea with alpacas is as different as you can get to a boat!
Head over to Broseley where you can herd alpacas and learn all about these lovely animals. After you have explored their habitats in the paddocks, met all the herd and had the chance to feed them, you’ll then be ready for a tea treat!
A locally supplied afternoon tea is given to you, boxed up, where you can then choose to heat in the marquees at the farm, or weather permitting, enjoy the cream tea on picnic tables, enjoying the views of the Shropshire countryside.
When you picture an afternoon tea in Shropshire, it’s normally with the normal family and friends, but what if you can take your furry friend with you?
This scone hot spot gives you the chance to enjoy the most beautiful homemade treats from sausage rolls, sandwiches to scones and cakes, all with unlimited tea or coffee. And of course, your faithful friend can come too!
And for something completely different to afternoon tea, but one of our most popular experiences in Shropshire, is the cow cuddling experience!
Get up close and personal with some Dexter cows, the smallest cows in Europe! You’ll get to pet and feed them whilst also getting the chance to groom them with special brushes!
This adventure is not your everyday experience and to get to hang out with such placid and adorable animals is a privilege and one that won’t be forgotten by those who do it!
