The National Trust is launching a rare opportunity to climb trees at one of its Cambridgeshire estates. The activity at Wimpole Hall, launching this May half term, offers amazing views over acres of parkland.

Wimpole Estate, in Royston, is home to a stunning 17th-century mansion, a home farm and vibrant walled kitchen garden. From May 28 through 30, not only can you roam the beautiful parkland and impressive house, but you can also go on an adventure up the estate's largest and oldest trees.

The National Trust said about the experience in partnership with The Big Tree Climbing Company: "Using ropes and harnesses, ascend into the canopy of one of Wimpole's largest trees, and enjoy an exhilarating adventure at new heights.

During your climb, you will learn how to safely reach the top of giant trees and take in the views of the parkland. You can hang out in the canopy or venture further out onto the branches if you're feeling brave, before returning safely to the ground."

This event is suitable for ages six and up and promises an unforgettable experience for the whole family. The experience costs £25 per person and is available to book from 9am to 4pm. This price is in addition to the admission price.
