Wimpole Home Farm

Wimpole Home Farm

Wimpole Home Farm is an 18th-century model farm located at Wimpole Hall, Arrington, Royston, Cambridgeshire, England, and operated by the National Trust. It is one of 16 Rare Breeds Survival Trust approved farm parks.

Originally built in 1794 as a model farm by Sir John Soane for Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke, the farm today displays a collection of farm implements and is home to a number of rare breeds of farm animals.
