About Castle Farm Shop

Castle Farm Shop is a shopping stop in Old Town on the Isles of Scilly, found at Old Town Stores on postcode TR21 0NN.

What to expect at Castle Farm Shop

This is a small island shop, so it works as a practical stop rather than a large retail attraction. You can call in for everyday essentials, local goods, or a quick browse while you are in the area. The shop sits within Old Town, which is one of the smaller settlements on St Mary’s. Because the Isles of Scilly have a relaxed pace, opening hours and stock can change with the season. It is sensible to plan your visit around other stops nearby. Also, the Facebook page for the shop is the best place to check ahead if you need specific items. The setting is residential and quiet, so you can expect a calmer shopping experience than in a busy mainland town.

How it fits into a day nearby

Old Town is well placed for a slow wander, and Castle Farm Shop gives you a reason to pause there. Nearby you will find Scilly Spirit, Carn Ithen Self Catering, John Bourdeaux Pottery, Parting Carn Farm, Penhallow, and Northwethel Guest House. These names show that the area mixes small local businesses with places to stay. Because the shop is on the same island as these spots, you can combine a visit with a walk between them. Also, Old Town sits away from Hugh Town, so the pace is slower and the roads are quieter. If you are staying on St Mary’s, the shop can serve as a handy stop for supplies before you head out to the coast or back to your accommodation.
