Stamford is a real hidden jewel of England, midway between London and York and yet relatively off the map of tourists. It has unique mix of history and fabulous Georgian architecture along with some terrific old shopping streets. Maybe that is why Sir Walter Scott declared Stamford to be “the finest stone town in England”. Experience everything Stamford has to offer with our Stamford Private Walking Tour.
With over 600 listed buildings of gorgeous limestone including five of the most spectacular medieval churches anyway it is perhaps not a surprise that it is often voted amongst the best places to live and also home to best high street in Britain. The only thing that is surprising about Stamford is why so many never get to visit. For those who know its secret, it’s a hidden gem. Let Ye Olde England Tours show it to you in our private walking tour.
We well visit the beautiful town meadows by the River Welland and Stamford castle. Learn the story behind the Eleanor Cross whilst exploring the beautiful shopping streets and alleys of Stamford and hearing of some of the people and events created the beautiful unspoilt Stamford of today.
Amongst the historic old churches and pubs you might also find a little culinary treat or two. I’m rather partial to the cheese shops myself. Why not take a little back to your hotel in London?
This is a totally private walking tour, just you and me and Georgian Stamford so the pace is whatever is right for you. It’s unhurried and a cafe stop is totally okay and won’t eat into the tour time.
