Stamford was one of the 10 biggest towns in medieval England and the many surviving buildings and beautiful Georgian stone houses make it a popular film location with scenes from Pride and Prejudice, Middlemarch and The Da Vinci Code all filmed here. The magnificent Burghley Estate sits just outside the town and Stamford’s excellent independent shops, and good eateries all go to make this a great spot for your cottage holiday in Lincolnshire.
