Why choose Stamford for your road trip

Stamford — a city worth exploring

Stamford's George Hotel has welcomed travellers since 1597, making it one of England's oldest coaching inns still in operation. This elegant limestone town in south Lincolnshire sits on the River Welland and is often regarded as one of the finest stone towns in the country. Stroll through the medieval streets to admire the architecture around Red Lion Square, or visit the Stamford Arts Centre for live performances and exhibitions. Burghley House, a grand Elizabethan mansion with 35 acres of parkland landscaped by Capability Brown, lies just a short walk from the town centre. For a quieter afternoon, Stamford Meadows offers riverside walks ideal for stretching your legs after a morning on the road. History enthusiasts will appreciate All Saints Church, with its striking Early English tower and beautifully preserved interior. Rutland Water, one of the largest artificial lakes in England, is only 13 km west — perfect for cycling, birdwatching, or a waterside picnic. Peterborough, with its impressive Norman cathedral, sits 21 km to the south-east. The surrounding countryside is wonderfully flat and open, with wide roads that make driving a motorhome or campervan a relaxed experience. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners in the area, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace while keeping costs down through our peer-to-peer platform.

Best time to visit

Stamford is a rewarding destination throughout the year. The Burghley Horse Trials, held each September in the grounds of Burghley House, draw visitors from across the country and create a lively atmosphere in town. The Stamford Georgian Festival in late September celebrates the town's architectural heritage with guided walks and re-enactments. Summer months are ideal for exploring Rutland Water and the surrounding countryside by campervan, with long daylight hours and pleasant driving conditions. If you prefer a quieter visit, spring and early autumn offer a relaxed pace with fewer visitors. Booking your motorhome through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform lets you compare prices from local owners and often find better value outside peak weekends.
