If seeing the sights is on your list of things to do, head to Burghley House— just one of the landmarks located 1.3 mi (2.1 km) from central Stamford.
If you like spending time outside, why not spend the afternoon at Stamford Meadows, a park in the heart of Stamford. If you like Stamford Meadows, you'll love Barnsdale Gardens and Rutland Water Country Park, both just a short drive away.
