Local Interest

Stamford is an architectural gem, a stone-built town of charm and grandeur in which The George sits extremely comfortably. The entrance to the town from the south, past Burghley's 'Bottle Lodges' gateway, is always breathtaking. The first sight of the town is from St Martin's going down the hill to The George of Stamford, a view described by Walter Scott as the finest between London and York. 

 

Within easy reach of The George are Burghley House, the beautiful market towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Oundle, and Peterborough with fast trains to London. We are lucky enough to be in an area of little known beauty with many unspoilt villages and the beautiful rivers Welland and Nene.

 

Here are a few ideas for visiting Stamford and its environs:
