STAMFORD
Voted as the No.1 place to live in Britain in 2013, Stamford is a delightful ancient town that grew to prominence where the river could be crossed on the way north from London to York and Scotland.
Within the town there is a host of lovely buildings, all of which capture the charm and elegance of the area as a whole. Shopping facilities in Stamford are very good, within the centre shops cater for almost every need, and there are three supermarkets and a produce street market every Friday.
For commuters, the A1 Great North Road lies immediately to the west of the town and this offers good driving facilities both north and south, particularly to Peterborough. In addition there is a railway station with services to Peterborough, from which London is approximately a 50 minute journey, and westwards to Leicester and Birmingham.
