Arrington
Arrington's 18th-century Wimpole Hall, bequeathed to the National Trust
by Elsie Bambridge, a daughter of Rudyard Kipling, is probably the most
spectacular country mansion in the whole county, and certainly the largest
18th-century country house in Cambridgeshire. The lovely interiors are the work
of several celebrated architects (Gibbs, Thornhill and Soane among them), and
there's a fine collection of furniture and pictures. The magnificent, formally
laid-out grounds include pleasure grounds, a Victorian parterre, a rose garden
and a walled garden.
A brilliant attraction for all the family is Wimpole Home Farm, a working farm that is the largest rare breeds centre in East Anglia. The animals include Bagot goats, Tamworth pigs, Soay sheep and Longhorn cattle, and there's also a pets corner, mini pedal tractors and a horse-drawn wagon ride. Children will happily spend hours with the animals or in the adventure playground. |
