The "invention" of the prime meridian – more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running at this point as the central reference line – in the second half of the 19th century was an epochal masterpiece in the field of cartography and navigation, particularly significant for seafaring at the time. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the Earth, coordinates based on this principle continue to be used to determine location. A film (in German) from the highly recommended series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" explains the UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites in Greenwich and discusses the problem of longitude measurement solved there.

The bike path goes through grazing fields and is usually covered in mud and sh*t so choose a dry spell or avoid.

Good if you are in to gates

Lovely scenery and a couple of coffee shops

Last time I visited (13th Jan 2024) it looked pretty permanently closed to me. A shame really, as I'd really wanted to visit!

With a namesake derived from the arrival of Queen Victoria in 1848, this historic path was also home to Victoria Lodge (now demolished), once the lodging for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert during their visit. Today, the path is a stunning natural area with an abundance of wildlife ready to make your acquaintance.

While rarely used any more, the original grand entrance gates to Wimpole Hall, Arrington Gates are a testament to the history of Wimpole Estate, including a visit from Queen Victoria in 1848!

The parkland at Wimpole Estate is a fantastic, nature-filled area comprising woodlands, farmland with grazing animals, and tranquil lakes.
