South LincolnshireStamford

Stamford, one of England's oldest coaching towns, full of character and bustle that makes it one of the most visited towns in the area. There are over 500 listed buildings within its medieval walls.

Now bypassed by the busy A1, the town is a peaceful haven, except for the visitors.

In the 13th and 14th century the town was so important it had it's own university, and it's fine church buildings remain.

Visit All Saint's Place with its outstanding buildings. Browne's Hospital, medieval almshouses, with a Jacobean hall and chapel. Down by the river are the Burghley Almshouses, whilst St George's Square is worth a look at with the famous George Hotel, an old coaching inn from the 14th century.
