A working estate still guided by the seasons, with an impressive mansion, parkland, gardens and Home Farm
Whether you arrive by car, bicycle or on foot, we recommend you book your farm, parkland and gardens ticket in advance of your arrival to Wimpole. Where space is available on weekdays, pre-booking may not always be necessary, however if you do not book we cannot guarantee admission.
The mansion, at the heart of this estate, is evidence of Elsie Bambridge's success in creating a home.
Intimate rooms contrast with beautiful and unexpected Georgian interiors, including Soane's breathtaking Yellow Drawing Room and wonderful plunge bath. The fascinating basement corridor offers a glimpse into life below stairs.
Stroll around the colourful parterre garden and wander through the Pleasure Grounds to the Walled Garden, abundant with fruit, vegetables and beautiful herbaceous borders.
Home Farm contrasts the traditional farmyard with the noisy modern piggery and cattle sheds, with daily farm activities there is a chance to join in and discover more about farming.
Stride out across the landscape park, among the rare-breed cattle, through grand avenues, before entering shaded woodland and emeging into an arable landscape.
