This private walking tour explores two of the most beautiful little market towns in Britain that are only a few miles apart but which are entirely different in how they look and feel. We will spend around 3 hours in lovely Stamford before hopping 10 minutes on the train (or by car if you prefer) to Stamford.
Stamford is perhaps the finest Georgian-era town in Britain. You might not have been there before but you’ll likely recognise it from its many appearances onscreen.
Stamford’s narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards are home to all manner of specialty shops, fine jewelers & designer boutiques. It also has a Friday Market and a buzzing High Street. Not forgetting the great history and ar...

There isn't too much left of Stamford Castle though the town walls appear here and there, sometimes where you least expect them.

High Street
Stamford High Street and the surrounding lanes are full of wondrous independent shops and producers. It would be rude not to check some out. I like the cheesemongers!

The Hospital of William Browne: Merchant 1410-1489
The whole of Broad Street is actually a lovely place to walk down but we will take a particular peek at this beautiful old building that is still in use today.
10 minutes
7
All Saints Church
There is not shortage of stunning old churches in Oakham and we can look at any we happen upon. If you only pick one, perhaps this should be it,
15 minutes

Barn Hill
Perhaps the Creme du la Creme of beautiful spots in Stamford a resident who in his own way, changed the world.
15 minutes
9
Oakham
Explore charming Oakham, the county town of Rutland. We will go down all the nooks and crannies, see the bigs spots and have plenty of time if you want to bag yourself a treat. Oakham is the place if you're a foodie.
1 hour and 20 minutes

Oakham Castle
Oakham Castle gas been here since the Norman Conquest and sits upon much older fortifications. Its Great Hall is almost unique as you will see for yourself!

All Saints Church
You can see the Spire of All Saints Church for miles around which is handy as it gives you an idea of just how magnificent the church is inside.
15 minutes
12
Old Buttercross
There used to be several crosses in Oakham, now this splendid survivor is the last one and also houses the original Stocks which must have been handy being just off the Market Place.

High Street
Oakham has a good selection of artisan craft shops, old pubs, traditional bakers, butchers and cheesemongers and even the odd swanky cafe.

Statue of Elizabeth II, Oakham
It's not often Oakham makes the news, but the unveiling of the first and only memorial statue to the late Queen Elizabeth in April 2024 was that time. Come and see it for yourself. Personally I think the corgis make it!
