A really lovely piece of history, that is staffed by true enthusiasts. The staff were very welcoming, informative and helpful. They even had a blacksmith on-site, working metal and explaining the process. All very friendly people. Plus, there were lots of animals to see onsite, including 2 young Jersey cows. Highly recommended place to visit on the island.

Hamptonne Country Life Museum is an open-air historical farmstead located in the heart of St Lawrence, Jersey, that showcases six centuries of the island's rural and agricultural history. Managed by Jersey Heritage, the estate consists of beautifully restored granite farmhouses, working outbuildings, and acres of orchards and fields populated by traditional farm livestock. Dave our guide made the experience an unforgettable one. Very witty and knowledgeable. Seems like great place for everyone of all ages to have a great day out. Our group of older guys also had a great time😁 Being Irish free cider was a huge bonus😂

What a fantastic place to visit. Great for young families with a nice cafe, lots of farm animals and interesting history. Definitely worth a visit, and potentially staying over night. Also try the cider, strong and very nice.

We really enjoyed our visit—the staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived, and the whole place had a lovely atmosphere. It was fascinating to get a glimpse of how things were done in the past, and seeing the Jersey calves was a real highlight. It made for a great day out, especially if you’re looking for something a bit different. It’s also a brilliant spot for families, as there’s plenty for children to enjoy. They brought in sheep and lamb a few days before we visited the place.
