Overview

Join us for a walk in south Cambridgeshire enjoying wonderful views of the countryside. We will start by walking along Victoria Drive which was used by Queen Victoria during her visit to Wimpole in October 1843.

We will climb to Thorn Hill where we will take a break to enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding villages before travelling onto the Wimpole estate including the lake and Folly. The walk will end at the restaurant at Wimpole where you can purchase food and drink or consume your own.
