This cache seems to have a habit of moving away from its last
resting place.
This is not a bad thing, but please, if you move it to another
position, or find it away from those currently recorded; log the
new co-ordinates for the next person to use.

Pharisee has done a magnificent job of describing the estate and
it's history on his 'Wimpole Wander' cache page: GCHY7, so I won't repeat it here. Although the
listing is now archived, you can still access it for reference.
This cache takes you on an easy three mile walk through the
north of Wimpole Hall estate. It can be a bit muddy in poor
weather, but is accessible throughout the year, with each season
giving a different display.
This map shows the full route, those not wishing to do the
complete walk (shame on you) will be able to work out a more direct
route to the cache.
Wimpole Hall is accessed from the A603 Cambridge Road between
Wimpole and Orwell.
The National Trust now operates a Pay and Display car park at
Wimpole Hall, not a problem if you are a member but if you are only
paying a quick caching visit you could try and park on the road
which runs between the A1198 and the A603 map Otherwise, why not make a day of it and complete
GCJDNF too.
Like most National Trust properties, there are tea rooms, shops
and toilets available during opening hours: Details
This cache is really only accessible during daylight hours
Details for PDA Users as requested by Huga.
