They’re a British afternoon tea staple and one woman who really knows her scones has found the cream of the crop at National Trust sites.
Sarah Merker has finished a decade-long project to sample a scone at every National Trust location.

And she says Dudmaston Hall near Bridgnorth offers the best scones of any of National Trust sites in this region, according to one woman who has now sampled scones at every one of the trust’s locations.
The 17th Century country house Dudmaston Hall took top spot in Shropshire, scoring 5 out of 5 with Sarah. “The scone was indisputably fantastic,” Sarah, from London, said after a visit to the hall in 2019: “It was light, fresh, and fluffy and a very good size.” Victorian villa Sunnycroft in Wellington brought up the rear with 3.5 out of 5 back in 2016. Whilst Sunnycroft got high praise for its beauty and homeliness, the baked goods left the author wanting.
“It was also a bit dry and metallic-tasting. But I enjoyed it. They had other cake options too, and the tearoom was fabulous.”
