When visiting Rutland you should not miss crossing the border into Lincolnshire where you will find the historic Georgian town of Stamford. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, Stamford is a feast of wonderful architecture including Georgian town houses, the town bridge over the River Welland, cobbled streets leading up from Stamford Meadows and many beautiful churches.

On the outskirts of Stamford is Burghley Estate where Queen Elizabeth I had Burghley House built for her Lord High Treasurer, William Cecil. There is lots to do and see at Burghley and well worth a visit.

Stamford became famous for its wool trade and as a halfway stopping point for the mail coaches between London and York. Today, with all it’s individual shops, numerous restaurants and pubs, Stamford has become a cosmopolitan market town and is regularly voted by the Sunday Times, along with The County of Rutland, as a desirable place to live in the UK.
