Whether you're a regular visitor or it's your first time, we can't wait to welcome you to Wimpole Estate. Take a look at our handy guide on what you need to know to help plan your day.
With leisurely walks through the Pleasure Grounds and ancient parkland and opportunities for countless family adventures, you can spend the whole day at Wimpole this summer, whatever the weather.
Winter is a magical time at Wimpole, as the leaves fall from the trees and the paths and borders become dusted with frost. Blow away the cobwebs on a longer walk around the parkland – on a longer stroll you can visit the Gothic Folly, which lives up to its name especially in the winter months. Within the gardens, enjoy the sights and scents of fragrant winter plants including daphne, edgeworthia and sarcoccocca. Discover the bright branches of dogwoods and cornice and our winter highlights border in the Walled Garden, at it’s best from December, filled with colourful and scented winter plants.
Wimpole's Shire horses, each with their own personalities, are a favourite amongst our volunteers and visitors.
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.
Farming at Wimpole has taken place for centuries each leaving their mark on the landscape and forming the basis for our farming operation today.
