Stamford high street named one of the best in the UK by The Telegraph

Travel experts from The Telegraph have named Stamford's high street as one of the best in the country.

The town was ranked fourth, earning particular praise for its shopping and architecture.

Several businesses were picked out as highlights including Nook, Energy, Stamford Cheese and Deli, The George and The Slanted Door.

The listing also refers to Walter Scott describing Stamford as "the finest stone town in England".

The list states: "It is a great hub for shopping: the high street is pedestrianised and many of the town's 600-odd listed buildings house fabulous independents - speciality food stores, cafés, antique shops and clothing boutiques.

"The Lincolnshire limestone looks especially lovely in low winter sunshine."
