Wimpole Hall Farm

It's lambing time! As we're here in England in the spring, checking out the new baby lambs seemed like a must. Wimpole Hall, about eight miles outside of Cambridge, has a special "Lambing Time" event this time of year. I pictured baby lambs frolicking out in the fields, like in the picture on the left. Most of them however, are just recently born. They're kept in a nice, heated barn while they're getting their first meals, first naps and taking their first wobbly steps.

The farm, being more of a tourist attraction than actual farm, is picture-perfect neat and clean. Besides the sheep, they had geese, ducks, pigs, bunnies, ponies, and horses.

We love seeing the random red telephone booth out in the middle of the countryside. This is the view from our tractor pull ride from the farm to the main hall.

Part of admission also includes a tour of the home and walled garden. There's also a gothic folly you can visit. We didn't reserve our car long enough to do all that, so we'll have to come back another day.

We were really impressed with the countryside around Wimpole Hall the short amount of time we were there. We've added it to our close-to-home places to walk list. I'm sure we'll be back again.
