An innovative place of peace, contemplation and reflection for everyone. Situated within the conserved churchyard of the beautiful historic church of All Saints, Easton on the Hill, and just off the Jurassic Way, it is a free and fascinating destination, along with the nearby Priests House. Come and walk the labyrinth in peace.
4. Stamford Sights & Secrets Tours
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 12 reviews
Join us on a 90 minute guided walking tour around beautiful, unspoilt Stamford - see the sights, discover the secrets and meet the faces behind the façade. Parts of the town centre have survived almost intact since medieval times, impervious to change going on all around. A seam of local limestone has given it a distinct look with great swathes of Georgian architecture, intertwined with Medieval, Tudor and Victorian influences. Explore Stamford’s history, cobbled streets, and some of the six-hundred listed buildings en route. Of course, there’s so much more to the past than gorgeous buildings. Come with us and you’ll hear stories of the great and not so good of our beautiful South Lincolnshire market town. People make a place interesting!

This historic Elizabethan house (circa 1587) features a serpentine park that was designed by Lancelot Brown and a gothic greenhouse and stables.
Reviewed By 450ianf - London, United Kingdom
An amazing house with wonderful interiors and very fine art. I think we saw 32 rooms and every one contained items of beauty and great interest. Right from the start we received a warm welcome (worth mentioning Jack who was so friendly and helpful). So much to see. Spent over 3 hours here taking it all in. I recommend this place and also recommend you allow enough time to take a leisurely look at everything. This is not a place to be rushed.

The company’s annual season is a treat that everyone local or visiting Stamford should enjoy. You can bring a picnic first or have a pleasant meal in the house. Have a glass or jug of Pimms and then see the show. It doesn’t matter what the weather is (and I’ve seen in torrential rain and blazing sunshine) as the audience is undercover in the tent whilst the players are amongst the trees, adding to the atmosphere. Do bring a rug on a typical English evening though as it can get chilly. A special mention for the bar staff who I have always found really lovely. If choosing a play I would suggest a lighter one, dare I say one of Shakespeare’s more “frothy” ones like Midsummer, than the more serious ones like Henry since it is an amateur company.
