Venue Description

Sacrewell is a heritage farm attraction including restored / conserved 18th Century Grade II* listed watermill, with recorded site history as far back as the Romans. Situated between the historic city of Peterborough and the beautiful market town of Stamford, it is clearly signposted off the A47 Peterborough to Leicester road, where the A47 crosses the A1 at Wansford. The site includes acres of farmlands, buildings, animal paddocks and a campsite. We encourage our visitors to touch exhibits and interact with our animals, all with large print information close by. In the mill we offer subtitled and BSL video interpretation, plus fixed location audio narration. There is varied terrain at Sacrewell, which can become muddy in bad weather. There are wide paths across the majority of the site, and a wheelchair available to loan free of charge.
