Grade 2 listed . Designed circa 1841 by H E Kendall and built 1852.

National trust member goes free

Parking is £2. There is a portaloo and a bin in the carpark. This hike was limited in what you could see, in August the trees and weeds blocked most of the view. For safety note that the pathway takes the narrow road that cars are entering and exiting. There are two crossings over the guided path where the buses are traveling at speed. The first part of the walk by the Ouse was lovely as was the last part on a field where you ton off by the weight limited bridge. I would imagine in winter the path would be a mush pit.

Near the crest of the Gog Magog Hills just south of Cambridge. Fast traffic on the short dual carriageway section past Wandlebury but there is a shared cycle path if you prefer.

A good coffee shop here

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.

A grade II listed building, the Stable Block at Wimpole is a historic gem, showcasing exquisite Georgian architecture. Nestled within the Wimpole Estate, it stands as a testament to the estate's rich history and agricultural heritage. Today, the Stable Block is home to the gift shop at Wimpole, where you can pick up a souvenir from Wimpole.

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

Enjoy a stroll through this pleasant little woodland walkway hidden behind the hamlet of Rampton.

Between the "Serpentine Lakes" the "Chinese Bridge" connects the areas of the park. The elaborately designed wooden bridge serves not only to cross the connecting arm of the two Serpentine Lakes but also to guide the view to the folly on the next hill.

The bus whizzes through the yellow grain landscape like oiled lightning. The intercity bus from Cambridge to St Ivy rolls over a special lane bus track and reaches an impressive speed. Today he transports the four of us to the "Fen Drayton Lakes Nature Reserve", in the lake landscape we hike and do "birdwatching". “Fen Drayton Lakes was originally a flooded sand and gravel pit bordering river floodplains. Today the area is a magnet for a variety of wildlife including otters, dragonflies, ducks, swans and geese. There is something to see (and hear) here all year round.” (https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/fen-drayton-lakes/)

The short excursion to the property's “Home Farm” should not be forgotten; Pure spectacle takes place around 2 p.m. when the pigs are fed. There are also goats, cattle and large cold-blooded animals, including the rare Shire horse, to visit. The model farm is a place where not only children can discover all sorts of things.

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.

"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)"Wimpole Hall is just south of the center of its park, from which the views extend north-south and east-west cross direction. The northern park retains many of the features bestowed on it by Lancelot Brown, who greatly expanded it in that direction. He advised the second Earl of Hardwicke from the mid-1760s to the mid-1770s. […] To the north of the Ha-ha (No Joke*) lies a series of serpentine lakes, identified by Brown from the late 17th century Lord Radnor's Fishponds. These are traversed by a wooden Chinese bridge […] leading to a grassy slope planted with trees , on the top of which stands the Gothic-style Folly Castle**, built […] in 1768-1772. A short stretch of linden and chestnut avenue [...] frames the view of Folly Castle. The Park or Home Farm is on the edge of the North Park, some 200 yards east of the Walled Garden, and is an unaltered remnant of a late 18th-century model farm designed by Sir John Soane for the third Lord Hardwicke.” (https://www.parksandgardens.org/places/wimpole-hall)

Follies were usually built just to show off the landowners wealth and are not ruins at all. This impressive one at Wimpole Hall was erected in the mid 1770s by the 2nd Earl of Hardwicke, Phillip Yorke. The showpiece gothic tower made for an extravagant place to entertain.

The grounds of the Wimpole Estate are open to the public. Although you have to pay to visit the house, hiking around the woodland and parkland is free. There is even a farm, Wimpole Holme Farm, which is sure to delight any young walkers. There is a cafe and toilets on site. For more information see the website https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cambridgeshire/wimpole-estate

In the care of the National Trust, Wimpole Hall is a grand building dating from the mid 17th century. A footpath runs along the southern boundary of the house from which there are impressive views of the mansion.
