The historic Lincolnshire town of Stamford's old timber-framed houses and charming limestone buildings stand proud on the banks of the River Welland. It's situated where the counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland meet and it is the end point of the Jurassic Way long-distance trail.

The nearby Burghley House and grounds – designed by the famous Capability Brown – make for an interesting day out, while a walk along the river and up to the village of Easton on the Hill is also gorgeous.

The Roman Ford

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman Ford marks Ermine Street's crossing point of the River Welland. This was one of the most important Roman Roads heading North from London, to Lincoln and York. Thankfully you don't need to get your feet wet, as there are a number of alternative, bridge options.
