Your Itinerary
Oakham Castle
Oakham Castle gas been here since the Norman Conquest and sits upon much older fortifications. Its Great Hall is almost unique as you will see for yourself!
All Saints Oakham
You can see the Spire of All Saints Church for miles around which is handy as it gives you an idea of just how magnificent the church is inside.
The Butter Cross
There used to be several crosses in Oakham, now this splendid survivor is the last one and also houses the original Stocks which must have been handy being just off the Market Place.
Oakham Market
The centre of old Oakham. A market is still held here several times a week and is otherwise home to a plethora of pubs, cafes, restaurants and bakeries amongst other things. Keep an eye out for the restored water pump too.
Stamford
Stamford is said to be the most beautiful stone and Georgian town in England. Spend a few hours here and you'll tend to agree and you might recognise a few locations that have been used onscreen.
Town Meadows
Soon after we leave the station, we will pass through the gorgeous Town Meadows and cross the River Wellend.
Stamford's Eleanor Cross
A modern cross commemorating a sad moment in history.
Stamford Castle
There isn't too much left of Stamford Castle though the town walls appear here and there, sometimes where you least expect them.
The Hospital of William Browne: Merchant 1410-1489
The whole of Broad Street is actually a lovely place to walk down but we will take a particular peek at this beautiful old building that is still in use today.
All Saints Church
There is no shortage of stunning old churches in Oakham and we can look at any we happen upon. If you only pick one, perhaps this should be it.
Barn Hill
Perhaps the Creme de la Creme of beautiful spots in Stamford a resident who in his own way, changed the world.
