Wimpole Estate — Best Working Estate
Rudyard Kipling only visited Wimpole once, a few months before his death in 1936.
His renowned remark as he stepped through into the imposing entrance hall was,
“Bird, I hope you have not bitten off more than you can chew.”
— from the June 1981 edition of
The Kipling Journal
by the Kipling Society
In recent years, Britain enthusiastically embraced the
locavore
and sustainable living
movements. The owners of many country house estates are leading the way by expanding
their sustainable farming operations. Their efforts help promote a positive message about
ecology, healthy living, conservation, and the value of open land over development.
