Stamford Market & Rutland Water Cruise

Stamford Market & Rutland Water Cream Tea Cruise

Stamford is widely regarded as one of the finest stone towns in England. The pretty facades of the town are favourites with film and television producers – Stamford was used as Meryton in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film and has also appeared in Middlemarch, The Da Vinci Code and the Golden Bowl. It’s no wonder that visitors come from far and wide to experience Stamford’s charm, character and outstanding shopping and restaurants.

Stamford's bustling market sees pavements packed with eager shoppers stocking up on local vegetables, meats, pies, bread and fresh fish. You can experience Stamford’s quieter side by seeking out tranquillity on the banks of the River Welland which winds its way through Stamford enroute to The Wash. Stamford’s narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards are home to a variety of speciality shops, fine jewellers and designer boutiques, whilst the High Street has a great choice of independent and recognised retailers.

Rutland Belle Cream Tea Cruise

Rutland Belle sails from Whitwell on the North Shore and calls in at Normanton on the South Shore. Visitors can enjoy the scenery from the water, amidst the sailors, anglers and waterbirds, whilst listening to commentary highlighting points of interest.

You may be lucky and spot the Osprey fishing, whilst enjoying your hour long cruise with a huge freshly baked fruit scone with strawberry jam, luxury clotted cream, tea & Coffee.
