Drove to Wimpole Hall today to take advantage of the beautiful weather and perfect conditions to fly my drone. Reading about the estate before the visit, it was clear that the grounds were going to be something special because they’d been landscaped by many great landscape designers including Capability Brown and his successor, Humphrey Repton.

Wimpole Hall is truly impressive and a drone shot is the only way you can really place such a wonderful building in its context. This is true also of country house hotels where the grounds and location are a key selling point. I don’t usually shoot buildings straight on but, in this instance, it was the best way to show off the perfect symmetry of the grand country house.
