The local area guide to living in Stamford

The town of Stamford is based in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, and is well known for its five impressive medieval churches and attractive timber framed buildings. Stamford has been called the best stone town in England, and the style of building remains a huge draw. It’s a great place to live for architecture fans as the whole of the old town is listed as an area of national architectural interest. It’s certainly a beautiful place to live and is idyllic enough to have formed the backdrop for television drama Middlemarch and films including Pride & Prejudice and The Da Vinci Code. Stamford is regularly a finalist in The Sunday Times’ ‘Best Place To Live In Britain’ competition.

The two schools share a co-educational sixth form that was formed in 2000 and New Stamford College also offers post-16 further education options.

Getting around

Stamford sits very close to the A1, making car travel an easy option to areas further afield. However, travelling within the town itself is generally easier by bus, as congestion is a problem due to a bottleneck caused by a lack of road crossings. Parking can also be tricky.

There is a direct service to Stansted airport, which takes around an hour and forty minutes, and London can be reached in just under an hour and a half.
