See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: activities very dependent on the weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Rutland Water
Rutland Water offers a large landscape of inland water, accessible banks and bird observation stations. Depending on the time available, you can take a short walk or follow the paths longer, with breaks facing the lake and the surrounding villages.
Historical Bourg
Stamford
Stamford is seduced by its golden stone streets, Georgian facades and compact centre where it easily passes from a church to a courtyard or a small square. The city discovers itself well on foot, without heavy program, letting the perspectives appear along the streets.
Historical area
Burghley House
Burghley House is impressed by the breadth of its Elizabethan home and its large landscaped park at the gates of Stamford. Between decorated rooms, gardens and views of the estate, the tour gives a very theatrical version of the English aristocracy.
