Private Historical Tour in Peterborough Stamford and Oakham
Overview
This tour is great for anyone making a day trip from London. We would meet you outside Peterborough Station (45 mins from London).
It's a short walk to the wonderful old Guildhall. Built originally in 1671 it has served as both a market & a townhall. A farmers market is still held here regularly along with many over events in the square.
A short stroll away is the really rather wonderful Peterborough Cathedral which we shall explore inside.
We can then get the train a short distance to either the beautiful Georgian Town of Stamford famed as being the most beautiful stone built and Georgian town in Britain.
Then on to Oakham, see the unique castle set amongst its old walls and beautiful park with old bandstand. Admire the fabulous old church and check out the old Stocks in the Buttermarket amongst much more besides.
Oakham and Rutland are known for being great for foodies and there is lots to see & buy.
It's a private tour so runs when you want it and at whatever pace you like.
