Report - Willingham Manor..Longstanton, Cambridgeshire August 2021

[Mikeymutt]

Known about this place for a long time but had never been. We were passing by and stopped to have a look more at the bits and couple of Austin’s in the back garden. The manor is just a shell but looked quite nice externally in the overgrowth and trees. Quite a nice little wander about for a bit. Prob a place better visited in January/February time when the overgrowth has died down a bit.
History is quite sparse on the place. Seems the manor had a large fire in the 50s. Found some stuff on this site.

It really was. I can imagine you liking the chimney. Sadly no toilets not even one slung in the grounds. But did find a bath ha ha.

Yeah it's a bit sparse but I quite enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it more than I thought. I can't remember seeing them drop tanks. Unless I did and not realise. I see them in your report when It came underneath this one.

A fairly local spot that has changed a fair amount in recent times, although I can't say much over a vast visit rate of 2.

Was always interesting to poke around the cars although a lot of them have now literally rotted away.
