The pricey Wimpole Estate





I've wanted to visit the Wimpole Estate for a while, so the Shackells-Saunders visited on a very wet spring day, including hail stones! We first went inside the house. At £15 per adult for a ticket to visit the whole property, it's not cheap! The girls had an activity sheet to complete, sadly there wasn't an activity in each room, so we saw every other room! The library holds 10,000 books and a ladder like the one in My Fair Lady. We pretended to sit at the dinner table, and saw a huge bath tub. It was lovely. We then walked to Home Farm to seee piglets, Highland cows, Shetland ponies, groomed a donkey, played on the tractor and saw lambs being fed. We walked back through the walled garden. Although lovely, I left feeling the price was still a bit steep, especially when you have to pay for the car park separately!.
