Walks around Stamford explore an attractive, historic town, an impressive country park and some beautiful countryside. Located on the River Welland where the counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland meet, the timber-framed houses and limestone buildings of its streets give way to delightful rural pastures.
Some of the finest hikes around Stamford explore the grand 16th-century architecture of Burghley House and its grounds, designed by the famous ‘Capability’ Brown. There are avenues to stroll down, lake loops to enjoy and the Sculpture Garden to explore.
For a tranquil stroll, the River Welland is shadowed by lovely footpaths, while the neighbouring village of Easton on the Hill is a popular objective, with pub options upon arrival. Here, you also find the National Trust-owned Priest’s House, a delightful 15th-century building that houses a museum about the area’s industrial history. A short drive to the west is the wonderful Rutland Water, perfect for waterside rambles.
