What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the serene atmosphere and historical significance of the Ackworth Quaker Meeting House. While the building itself is lovely, some find the directions to be confusing, often leading them to a nearby garden center instead of the actual school location.
"Lovely small meeting in a large old Meeting House.
Directions took me first to the Garden centre. It's actually about 5 miniutes up the road ( if you are coming from the roundabout side) at the school. If you follow.
The directions to the school you'll be brought into an area where you can't park out front. Need to go out just a little further on to find the car park."
