The picturesque village of Stamford is located in the county of Lincolnshire, about an hour and a half drive from RAF Mildenhall. It is known as the "Finest Stone Town in England" because many of the buildings are constructed from old Lincolnshire limestone. The town has been used as the backdrop in several movies including The Da Vinci Code and Pride and Prejudice - and despite it's small population boasts many lovely restaurants, pubs and beautiful churches. It also has some great antique shopping. I highly recommend spending a day browsing their shops - we found some wonderful deals. The post code for Stamford is: PE9 1AE.Just outside the town is Burghley House - a magnificent Elizabethan mansion surrounded by beautiful gardens. The Da Vinci Code, Pride and Prejudice and Elizabeth: The Golden Age were also filmed here.
