Visit for several reasons. Good cafe with nice food and cakes. Plenty of tables inside and outside in the garden. My pictures of outside tables are not very good it's much nicer than they show. Excellent toilets and bike parking. All this before entering the gardens and paying. But it's also worth visiting the gardens many of which have featured on the BBC.

Stamford Historic Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

The historic Lincolnshire town of Stamford's old timber-framed houses and charming limestone buildings stand proud on the banks of the River Welland. It's situated where the counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland meet and it is the end point of the Jurassic Way long-distance trail.

The nearby Burghley House and grounds – designed by the famous Capability Brown – make for an interesting day out, while a walk along the river and up to the village of Easton on the Hill is also gorgeous.
