Stamford is a market town in south Lincolnshire, about 12 miles west of Peterborough and 25 miles east of Leicester. It's one of the most attractive towns in England, built from local limestone with over 600 listed buildings. It was the first conservation area in England, designated in 1967.
The town centre has narrow medieval streets lined with Georgian townhouses and stone-built shops. Many streets are too narrow for large vans, and parking is extremely limited. The conservation area restricts some access and loading. The Burghley House estate is just to the south.
Barnack to the south-east is a village known for its historic quarry (which supplied the limestone for many local buildings, including Peterborough Cathedral). Ketton to the east is a similar stone village. Both have narrow lanes but less traffic than Stamford itself.
The A1 bypass runs east of the town, keeping most through-traffic away. The A43 connects to Corby and Northampton to the south. The A606 heads west to Oakham and Melton Mowbray.
Stamford's popularity means traffic is heavy on summer weekends and during events at Burghley House (the Burghley Horse Trials in September are a major draw).
Rates start from £19 per hour. Add full postcodes and detailed access notes for the narrow streets.
