About this property
Wimpole Home Farm is a working farm set amidst historical thatched farm buildings and a modern farmyard. Designed and built in 1794 by Sir John Soane for 3rd Earl of Hardwicke, Home Farm was a sophisticated model farm of its time, in an age of great agricultural improvement. Retrace the footsteps of the gentry 200 years ago and wander through the Pleasure Grounds to visit the Farm. Alternatively take a ride in the wagon, pulled by Shire horses Captain and Reggie, straight to the farmyard to discover the traditional and rare breeds of sheep, cattle, pigs, poultry, goats and horses. Youngsters can join in a variety of fun farm activities: grooming the donkeys Daisy and Clementine; collecting eggs; feeding goats and learn about the traditional methods of farming from exhibits under the rafters of the Great Barn and the old Dairy. Hidden among the trees, the adventure playground is a popular spot with those who love to climb, slide, scramble and swing, while tiny tots enjoy their own play area with Kidbine Harvester and mini pedal tractors. The Farm Kitchen offers a range of tasty snacks and meals for all the family.
