It is some 11 miles northwest of Peterborough and about 27 miles east of Leicester, and is set on Roman Ermine Street and the Great North Road. The picturesque town is constructed almost entirely of limestone, much of the town centre was built in the 17th and 18th centuries in Jacobean or Georgian style. Tourism is an important element of Stamford’s economy.
