Stamford’s narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards are home to all manner of specialty shops, fine jewelers & designer boutiques. It also has a Friday Market and a buzzing High Street.
Almost every street in Stamford is a work of art with beauty everywhere you look. Not forgetting the great history and quite charm. It's heaven!

StamfordStamford is said to be the most beautiful stone and Georgian town in England. Spend a few hours here and you'll tend to agree and you might recognise a few locations that have been used onscreen.
-
Soon after we leave the station, we will pass through the gorgeous Town Meadows and cross the River Wellend.
-
Stamford CastleThere isn't too much left of Stamford Castle though the town walls appear here and there, sometimes where you least expect them.
-
Once the home to the oldest church in Stamford and the only once mentioned in The Doomsday Book. Sadly though it was pulled down in the 1600's. The site has never been built on since and is serene spot close to the town centre. Nearby is the best remaining section of the medieval town walls and the site of a lost Priory.
-
Stamford's Eleanor CrossA modern cross commemorating a sad moment in history.
-
Once the old market place and still in many ways the beating heart of Stamford with all manner of beautiful buildings all around.
-
All Saints ChurchThere is no shortage of stunning old churches in Oakham and we can look at any we happen upon. If you only pick one, perhaps this should be it.
-
Barn HillPerhaps the Creme de la Creme of beautiful spots in Stamford a resident who in his own way, changed the world.
-
The whole of Broad Street is actually a lovely place to walk down but we will take a particular peek at this beautiful old building that is still in use today. On Thursdays to Saturdays in the summer we can even take a peek inside this incredible old building.
-
Stamford High Street and the surrounding lanes are full of wondrous independent shops and producers. It would be rude not to check some out. I like the cheesemongers!
-
Until 1960 this wonderful old bridge was home to the Great North Road (modern day A1) but now it is a great spot to take photos of the river and picturesque streets and spires.
-
Stamford has long been a place of refuge for weary travellers ever since Roman Ermine Street passed by but in particular during the centuries of coach travel. The George Inn wasn't just the best in Stamford but reputed to be the finest in the kingdom! It's thought an Inn may have been on this spot since 947AD which might make it the perfect spot for lunch after the tour.
-
This beautiful old church is the resting place of William Cecil, the mighty Lord Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth ! with one of the most splendid tombs around. Nearby though is the final resting place of a man who in his own way was even bigger, Daniel Lambert. Find out about him when he visit his grave.
-
There has been a hospital of sorts here since the 1170's and incredibly the buildings are still helping people in need today.
