About
At Wimpole Estate you can wander into your own sprawling estate, with acres of parkland resplendent in the seasons, a manor home and a farm full of activities for all the family. Discover Home Farm, an 18th-century farmyard with shire horses and rare breed cattle, sheep and pigs to name a few. Young farmers can learn all about the daily activities around the yard and what it takes to look after the animals.
The grounds themselves are full of woodland walks and cycle routes. Explore the walled garden, the Gardener’s Cottage and be dazzled by colour in June as 180,000 bulbs ower in the Pleasure Grounds. The house itself is just as impressive.
Discover its past as you explore the rooms full of history and stories to tell! A full, fun and educational day out for the whole family!
