South Kesteven

'The gardens and parkland that you see today at Burghley were largely designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown in the 18th century. Today, sweeping vistas down to the spires of Stamford with the backdrop of the House create the perfect canvas for open air classical concerts, wedding receptions, events or just a quiet stroll with the dog.'

The Deepings 'are the adjoining villages near the River Welland, 8 miles to the north of Peterborough and 10 miles or so east of Stamford in England. The area is just north of the Peterborough border in the Lincolnshire fens. The Deepings include: Deeping Gate, Deeping St James, Deeping St Nicholas, Market Deeping and West Deeping'.

'There's no better way to discover the hidden treasures of south Lincolnshire than walking through the landscape that witnessed bronze-age burials; iron-age mints; roman forts; the Knights Templar; deserted medieval villages; castles, cathedrals and monasteries and Elizabethan architecture at its finest ...' Held Late September - Late October.

'Stamford U3A includes members from the town and surrounding villages, and is a growing group of around seven hundred members.'

The route from Trent Lock to Grantham divided into six walks (plus a dozen circular walks).

'A lovely walk taking in 4 counties! From the magnificent stone town of Stamford walk to the pretty stone village of Easton on the Hill before returning past the ruins of Wothorpe Towers.'

'As part of the Sundial and Stamford Built Heritage Project, Stamford Civic Society has revised and reprinted the Stone Trail. This was first produced by LCC with the original text and drawings supplied by Alan Dawn, and had not been revised for over ten years. It has now been brought up to date and is available from the Library, at a cost of £1. All proceeds from the sale remain in Stamford to provide funds for the Library ... We hope that the trail will be used by residents and visitors alike to gain a fascinating insight into "The finest stone town in England".'
