Travellers and writers from Celia Fiennes and Walter Scott to John Betjeman
and Alec Clifton-Taylor have described Stamford as the finest stone town
in
England. Prosperous from the wool trade in the middle ages, it is still
unspoilt. It is an ideal base from which to explore the northern part
of
Northamptonshire, quintessentially the county of 'squires and spires'.
We
will discover the area's unrivalled wealth of beautiful churches and
splendid country houses, with private tours and special access to some
little-known gems.
