For the $12.50 per adult entry fee you get the chance to go back in time and be part of a convict-built settlement which now has a world heritage listing. There are about 20 buildings to see including the old wool classing building and a stunning old church. Well worth the visit!

After visiting Woolmer's we were advised to also find time to visit Brickendon Village. The buildings are beautiful and the home is lovely. It is still being lived in so we were only able to view from the outside. The gardens are green and serene. the church and cottages on the grounds were a delight to behold.

Brickendon Colonial Farm Village is well worth a visit. The Archer family has opened up part of their farm for tourists to visit so that this unique part of our history can be preserved. There is open access to farm buildings to wander through and a good audio visual presentation from an ABC documentary that explains the relationship between Brickendon and Woolmers. The original 2 brothers had very different philosophies and this is reflected in the nature of the two properties. I saw lots of vehicles going past Brickendon to go to Woolmers - a big mistake in my opinion. The understated Brickendon is why Australia prospered in colonial days and why we need to support our farmers today when they are working to preserve our agricultural heritage.The chapel has been restored with original windows re-installed after being moved to other places.The granary is amazing architecture with the pillars raising the three floor building off the ground to discourage vermin from "stealing" the seeds and all built in the very early 1820s.Well worth the visit and will return to follow the path to Woolmers to see other aspects of our agricultural heritage.

I am in utter awe that people actually enjoy visiting Brickendon. I can't believe they charge $12.50 entry fee for this rubbish. It was literally an old farm. Nothing exciting, nothing interesting. Nothing worse seeing.Inside the boring buildings were just farming tools. Honestly I can never get the 30 minutes I spent there back and it makes me sad. It was so uninteresting and lame I can't believe it's a tourist attraction. This is not an attraction.

We were able to wander around the farm village late on Sunday evening and again early on Monday morning, and we were fortunate to have the place to ourselves due to the lateness/early hour. The village is delightful, photo opportunities abound, the animals are friendly (including the cats who accompanied us on our explorations). The signage explaining the significance of the buildings is interesting and clear. The gardens are lovely, especially as they burst into bloom in Spring. A really fabulous experience connecting us to the convict past.

We arrived early and were able to help feed the ducks, chooks and pig. Whole family had a great time and the service was good too.Don't forget to visit Woolmers too. Such a great story.

We didn't have enough time (catching a plane!) to go on the indoors visit (about $20 I think) so took the $14 option to see the outdoors, we were told the rose garden was not in flower seasons, which we expected. The walk was nice and the buildings are beautiful but probably not quite worth the $14, specially when it's not roses season! ...

We were greeted with a warm fire in our cottage and as overnight guests given fresh milk, eggs, juice, bread, jam for breakfast. Cooking was easy with a full kitchen and feeding the animals and exploring the grounds kept us busy with family fun activities for several days. Peaceful and quiet nights were filled with farm noises and the sky was lit up with a multitude of stars which as residences of the northern hemisphere, we never have seen before.

I spent a couple of hours wandering around this lovely property on a beautiful sunny day and the views across the Norfolk plains were stunning. It is certainly a step back in time, and to read of the prosperity of estates like Brickendon due to the skills and labour of assigned convicts both men and women was of great interest. Numerous photo opportunities abound, not only the old buildings, but also the ducks etc. I was unsure whether access was available to the Chapel, but I unlocked the gate and was pleasantly surprised at the interior of the building, especially the roof line. Admission was very reasonably priced, considering this is a World Heritage Site and a big hit with young children.

A very interesting and beautifully presented slice of our history. Allow plenty of time to wander the extensive grounds - photo opportunities abound.
