Inside Wimpole hall

in a car… We decided to make the most of the very welcome spring weather with a trip to Wimpole Hall. The National Trust were running a free access weekend for many of their properties. Unfortunately the journey was somewhat elongated by major road works on the A14 which seemed to nobble every assoiated road in the vicinity. However we got there at last! and toured the house (refurbished in the 1930′s by Rudyard Kipling’s daughter).  Well worth a visit, and the gardens look like they will be impressive once a few more flowers are out.  The farm is great for kids – lots of new born lambs, piglets and some huge shire horses.  Then back to the ranch for a lovely chinese and a game of whist.  A good weekend.
