Wimpole Hall

Located 8 miles south of Cambridge on the A603, Wimpole Hall is a National Trust property that was once the home of Rudyard Kipling's daughter. The house is an impressive 17th century mansion set in extensive parks and gardens. Over the years some of the most renowned names in English architecture have contributed to Wimpole, from James Gibbs to Henry Flitcroft and Sir John Soane.

The gardens include a mix of formal Victorian parterres, arboretum, pleasure grounds, and Dutch Gardens with a variety of spring bulbs.

Wimpole Home Farm, beside the house, was a model farm established in 1794. It now operates as a rare breeds centre and home to heavy horses. The farm features a Victorian Dairy and a thatched Great Barn, as well as a children's play area.

Wimpole Way
If you're feeling energetic, try walking the 13 mile long Wimpole Way, which leads from Cambridge to Wimpole Hall. The trail is waymarked, and a leaflet outlining the route is available from the Cambridge TIC.
