stamfordDescribed at ‘the finest stone town in England by Sir Walter Scott.

Stamford’s stone heritage has drawn accolades over the centuries – and tourists from far and wide. Its unique blend of history, niche shopping, stunning architecture and an over-riding sense of community even won the supreme compliment from the Sunday Times Newspaper as ‘Britain’s top place to live’ (March 2013).

With over 600 listed buildings of mellow limestone there is so much to explore in the UK’s first conservation town.

Stamford is unusual in having whole streets entirely made up of Georgian houses, yet vibrant with modern life, and it’s an architectural legacy which has drawn innumerable film companies for classics such as Pride and Prejudice and Middlemarch.

Now in more modern times it’s the stage for a fabulous Georgian festival which recreates the bustle and feel of the Georgian period over a weekend-long programme of events, organised by South Kesteven District Council.

A vibrant Friday street market epitomises all that’s best about market towns, stretching along Broad Street, Ironmonger Street, and into the High Street. And the regular farmers’

market offers produce traceability and a sales outlet for local food producers.

On a daily basis Stamford’s eating houses, pubs and food speciality shops make its winding streets a voyage of gastronomic discovery. Its historic core is a perfect backdrop for businesses and niche retailers alike. It boasts world-class watchmakers, award winning food producers, an independent brewery and a thriving cafe culture.

Stamford Arts Centre, built in 1768, is one of the oldest provincial theatres in England, and is a thriving focal point for arts and cinema and houses the Tourist Information Centre.

Local people and visitors alike benefit from a wealth of attractions on the town’s doorstep including Rutland Water to the west, one of Europe’s largest reservoirs and

now a haven for fishing, cycling, sailing and wildlife, historic houses like Grimsthorpe Castle and Burghley House, and rolling countryside with picturesque villages all round.

here are just a few things that make it a great place:l Delight in a walk along the River Welland or just relax on the town’s historic water meadows

l Enjoy sailing, climbing or cycling at nearby Rutland Water

l Take guests to the spectacular Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in September, where corporate hospitality is also available

l Indulge yourself amidst Stamford’s uniquely niche shops, from antiques to jewellery and upmarket fashions

l Enjoy the Stamford Shakespeare Company at Tolethorpe, one of the finest open air theatres which has a very popular summer season

There’s also a whole host of dining experiences from Michelin rated Harry’s Place just outside the town to Bombay Brasserie, a winner in the East Midlands Food Awards best Indian category, as well as a wide range of other top quality restaurants to suit all tastes.

With a population of over 40,000, the town has managed to retain its character but also move with the times. At the heart of Grantham is the parish church of St Wulfram’s with its soaring 282ft spire – one of the most important town churches in England – and the Guildhall houses a lively arts centre and tourist information centre.

Showing great innovation South Kesteven District Council launched the Gravity Fields Festival in 2012 to celebrate the life and discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton – who was

born locally at Woolsthorpe Manor– with a bi-ennial arts and science extravanganza putting Grantham on both national and international maps. More recently, Britain’s first woman Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher was born in the town and Britain’s first policewoman served here.

Grantham has a wonderful choice of places to visit as well as a selection of splendid parks and open spaces for people to spend their leisure time.

On its doorstep are lots of local attractions including Belton House, Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, Grimsthorpe Castle and Burghley House near Stamford, home of the famous horse trials.

On top of that the area boasts one of the best leisure facilities in the East Midlands and has a wealth of other attractions

from championship standard 18 hole golf courses to smaller rural courses, impressive castles and homes, and unrivalled countryside for walking, riding and cycling. There’s also the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of festivals and events covering everything from theatre through to music and art.

All that’s left is to find is a great place to stay to savour all that the area has to offer. And we have plenty of those too. From hotels to coaching inns, b & b’s, to guest houses, farmhouses to self catering accommodation, we have something to suit every taste.

Mentioned as a Royal Manor in the Domesday Book, Grantham has come a long way since the days when it was known as a stopping place for kings and nobleman.

The Angel and Royal Hotel, originally a court of King John, still takes pride of place in the High Street but over the years the town has expanded and developed and is now home to many shops, indoor shopping centres and a bustling Saturday street market.

bourneRoman roots - motor racing lineage.

Bourne of today is known worldwide for its motor racing connections but its roots go back to the Roman invasion.

The red brick town at the foot of the limestone hills of Kesteven owes its origin to the Roman road upon which it was built – and its name to its fine quality water.

Bourne (or Bourn, as it was originally known) comes from the Anglo Saxon meaning water or stream. It is the place where English Racing Automobiles

(ERA) and British Racing Motors (BRM) racing cars were built, and Pilbeam Racing is carrying on a proud tradition.

It’s other claim to fame is as the birthplace of both Hereward the Wake, leader of the local resistance to the Norman Conquest of England, and Charles Worth, the man widely considered as the

father haute couture who was an English fashion designer of the 19th century, whose works were produced in Paris.

The Red Hall, a fine Elizabethan mansion stands near the centre of the town, and the Abbey Church of St Peter and St Paul, founded in 1138, is one of the oldest buildings in Bourne.

Bourne Heritage CentreBaldocks Mills, 21 South Street, Bourne, PE10 9LYOnce a working mill, now a Heritage Centre displaying information and artefacts relating to the town.

the deepingsMarket Deeping and Deeping St James, including West Deeping and Langtoft.

Nestling beside the River Welland, on the southern borders of South Kesteven, sits the town of Market Deeping and the villages of Deeping St James , West Deeping and Langtoft.

Mammoth elephants and woolly rhinoceros once roamed the low-lying land which is collectively known as The Deepings – a Saxon name meaning deep places.

Now the area is home to fine 17th century stone houses but with all the trappings of modern day life. Market Deeping, with a population of about 14,000, has definitely left behind its pre-historic roots offering a unique combination of the traditional and the forward thinking.

Now considered one of best districts to live in, according to

the to a 2013 Halifax Quality of Life survey, the area has developed significantly over the years, attracting major and new businesses while still acting as a service centre.

Attractions include the triangular market place, featuring fine stone buildings and former coaching inns, and the 13th Century church of St, Guthlac, with two sundials on the tower.

There is also a great selection of shops and cafes on offer, or simply enjoy a stroll along the River Welland.
