| Stamford is famous for
its magnificent stone buildings and architecture; the town
unfolds into a series of winding lanes and streets which
are lined with buildings untouched from their medieval and
Georgian origins.
Visitors never cease to be impressed by the genuine
welcome they receive & many return time and again.
Stamford's heritage embraces a wealth of eighteenth and
early nineteenth century town houses built to complement
its great period of prosperity achieved during the
stagecoach era; it was renowned during this period for its
comfortable hostelries, luxury shops and Georgian theatre
- the town even boasted a successful racecourse.
With the advent of the railways during the mid
nineteenth century, Stamford became more accessible to the
discerning visitor and its welcoming approach has remained
ever since. Stamford offers a wide and diverse choice of
attractions and a wealth of quality independent retailers,
including numerous antique shops and galleries. Winding
its way through the centre of the town, the river Welland
offers panoramic views across the meadows reflecting the
peacefulness of a bygone past. |
