Caution - Lambs arriving at Wimpole

It seems like it’s the first sunny weekend of the year and spring is bringing new life to Wimpole Hall, a beautiful National Trust property near Cambridge. The highlight of this time of year is the chance to see lambs being born, and although the official first weekend of lambing here is the 13th March it seems that several new arrivals have forgotten to check their calendars!

The farm at the Hall is popular all year round, but today the sun is out so there are more wellies and wooly hats than normal. Parents have gathered en masse to enjoy the chance to get close to the animals and find refuge in the teashop whilst their kids get rid of plenty of energy on the zip wires, climbing frames and pedal tractors. And despite all these great activities it’s the 5 new born lambs that are the stars of the show - stumbling around in the fields and chasing leaves blowing in the wind. Next weekend promises to be even busier when lots more young lambs are expected to be born. Look out for your local farm offering the chance to witness this spectacle - you can be assured your children will want to take a few home!
