Who are Wimpole Hall?
First built in 1643 and much altered by subsequent owners, Wimpole has developed into the largest country house in Cambridgeshire. Wimpole provides almost a case-book history of English Gardening from 1690 to 1830.
Wimpole Home Farm was built over 200 years ago and first opened to the public in 1983. This is a working farm set amidst both thatched farm buildings and modern farmyards.
