Ripplea Bear has lived at Rippon Lea Estate for over 140 years – Clara Sargood and all her brothers and sisters were his first friends.
They used to play hopscotch in the Fernery, row boats around the lake and cuddle in front of the fire. Today, Ripplea still loves to play around the Estate – as you can see from all the photos of his adventures!
All proceeds from the sale of Ripplea Bear go towards the preservation of Rippon Lea.
