View the colourful formal Parterre, take a walk through the Pleasure Grounds along the Explorer Pathway, meandering your way to the Walled Garden surrounded by herbaceous borders and fruit trees

Explore the acres of parkland at Wimpole, abundant with wildlife, flora and fauna; wander through the woodland belts or head across the Chinese bridge and on up to visit the Gothic folly.

Our Old Rectory Restaurant counter is open and will be serving a limited range of takeaway hot and cold drinks and some light snacks. We’ve introduced new safety measures including screens at our till and collection points; a queuing system and a one way waymarked route. We’ll also only be accepting card payment. We look forward to welcoming you back and know that you’ll support us to make this a safe experience for everyone.

Wimpole Estate is in tier 4, which means our shop is currently closed. You can still head on over to our online shop. Every purchase you make helps to support the vital conservation work needed to look after places like Wimpole.

Wimpole Estate has added another chapter to its long history with a new visitor welcome and gateway to the Estate. Updates include a new car park; a new Multi-use trail coming soon; new Heavy Horse stabling; and installation of green renewable energy.

As the Trust's only in-hand lowland arable farm, Wimpole is in an ideal position to be a champion for agriculture, trialling new methods and techniques and at the same time supplying its organic produce.

We're passionate about getting people outdoors and closer to nature, so by creating a trail route around the estate, intended for walkers, runners, cyclists and adapted wheelchair users, our aim is to make access to the parkland as easy as possible.

As with any house, garden and farm there is always some work to do to maintain it, to keep it weatherproof; to repair something and here at Wimpole it is no different.

One off projects, both large and small take place as and when budgets allow, the restoration of the Gothic Tower the most recent and visible large project completed at Wimpole.

We're planting one thousand trees in the parkland and pasture over the next ten years, replacing dead, fallen and missing trees from planting plans of previous landscape designers at Wimpole.

As we gradually and safely open more of the places we care for, there’ll be more opportunities to explore gardens and parklands near you. If you’re a member, you can access all these places free, together with most National Trust car parks. It’s so important for everyone to have fresh air, birdsong, big skies and open spaces to enjoy. Your membership will go towards looking after all of this for generations to come.

For 125 years, people like you have helped us protect some of the UK's best-loved places. Everyone needs nature, beauty and green spaces now more than ever. But our income has dropped sharply due to the coronavirus crisis, and our essential conservation work is at risk. Please give what you can to help us look after these places, so people and nature can thrive.
