Charming Historic Towns including Stamford - home to Burleigh House and Grounds
A charming and buzzing town strategically positioned on the Great North Road (we know it as the A1!) - the town itself is worth a visit for the shops and restaurants and architecture... but the main attraction is arguably Burleigh House and Grounds. Home to, amongst many other events, the Burleigh Horse Trials. The wonderful sculpture gardens and Garden of Surprises are well worth a visit.
