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.

A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

In the winter months guided tours of 45 mins only going every 30 mins (selected times only) and only the ground floor is a accessible.

Easy walk from the National Trust owned Hall and Stable buildings. Great views looking back towards the Hall, and on a good day, back towards Royston

Back in the fresh air, standing between the precisely trimmed hedges, a larger-than-life sculpture first caught our attention: With my Jacob, who intends to sacrifice his son, I am just as far off the mark as the “rest of the troops” who talk about Cain, who is currently assassinating his brother. Meanwhile, it turns out that it is Samson who is swinging the club at lofty heights. “The sculpture shows the biblical figure Samson, who, according to a story in the book of Judges [...] killed 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey.” (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_erschläge_einen_Philistine) “A man sees red!” in an antique version.

** "Folly (literally "foolishness"), plural follies, is an English term in garden design and architecture for an unusual ornamental building, [...] primarily related to landscape gardens in England. The bizarre conspicuousness of the building is intentional, the provocative uselessness of the system is programmatic. [...]" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly_(Garden Art)) Over the extensive pasture slopes we climb to the western ridges of the park at oddly grown, ancient willows. The visual axis of the Lindenallee leads the view over to the picturesque Folly in the northern part. Between the "Serpentine Lakes" the "Japanese Bridge" connects the areas of the park. Behind it we climb up to the artificial ruins of the Folly and enjoy the view for a while before the early dawn drives us down the slope back to the entrance.

"Wimpole Estate" is therefore on the schedule for today, which is cloudy at first and remains cloudy from a weather point of view. The only travel day without sun in the sky leads us first through the premises of Wimpole Hall. (https://artuk.org/visit/venues/national-trust-wimpole-hall-6723) I don't want to dwell on the whole powerful aristocratic fuss here; after all, the British have a much more relaxed relationship with the aristocratic upper class, which has always lovingly enslaved the population. We are not alone in visiting the spacious rooms of the Hall.
