Picturesque Stamford, England, is known for its stone buildings, and visitors often see it while driving between Cambridge and Lincoln. The city's museum makes an entertaining break from strolling the winding, cobbled streets.
Just outside town is Burghley House, a massive stone palace owned by the Cecil family since its completion in 1587 (be sure to see its Heaven Rooms).
Stamford is located 80 mi/130 km north of London.
