Wimpole is a small rural village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, centred on the large Wimpole Estate. The area is dominated by the imposing Wimpole Hall, an 18th‑century country house set in sweeping parkland with lakes, avenues of trees and a working farm; the hall and grounds are managed for visitors and conservation, so tourism and heritage use are prominent alongside farming.
Historically the parish grew up around the landed estate and a small community clustered by St Andrew's Church, and that agricultural character still shapes daily life. The mix of quiet countryside, National Trust‑led events and easy access to Cambridge gives Wimpole a blend of historic interest, outdoor recreation and a modest local economy supported by visitors and farming.
