This National Trust property includes a grand mansion, beautiful gardens, and a working farm. Families can enjoy exploring the house, walking through the gardens, and meeting the animals on the farm.
While you’re at Wimpole, take a walk around the multi-use trail, which loops through the wider estate, giving visitors the chance to experience the landscape beyond the main house and formal gardens.
