Wimpole Estate
15 minute drive
Embrace the estate.
Spot Shire horses, pigs, sheep, cows and goats while walking through the Wimpole Estate, one of the best walks in Cambridge. Once you’ve explored the impressive 17th-century mansion, head outside into the gardens, parkland or farm – there’s something for everyone. If you head to the 300-acre ancient parkland, keep an eye out for the rare breed cattle and sheep.
River Cam
25 minute drive
Time for tradition.
Cambridgeshire walks aren’t complete without a leisurely stroll near the River Cam, one of the most iconic rivers in the UK that flows through Cambridge. When you want a break from walking, why not go punting? Sit back, relax and get taken on a journey along the river in style.
Burghley House

Stop by Burghley House, one of the largest and grandest houses of the 16th century. Grab your sunglasses and head out for a walk in the two spectacular gardens. Discover horticulture, sculpture and sensational seasonal colour as you stroll through the undulating landscape of the Sculpture Garden, then step into a world of classical civilisation, astrology and astronomy in the highly entertaining Garden of Surprises.

Surround yourself with greenery.
Walk on a wide path flanked by majestic trees, enter the grass maze with the little ones and stimulate your senses in the scented garden. From tropical glasshouses to British wildflowers, the Cambridge University Botanic Garden has many areas waiting to be explored and appreciated.
