Getting to Stamford is a pain in the bum. You have to go to Peterborough eg from King’s Cross, then get a little cross country train heading towards Birmingham. But it’s only a short distance along that line.
When you get there, the station is by a housing estate and you think you’ve come to the wrong place – are there really over 600 listed buildings here?
But walk up to the town and you will see it’s a stunning place, and area steeped in history.
If it’s market day there will be lots to enjoy. And do go down and across the river and try The George. Yes, it really is that expensive.
