Look at that gorgeous stonework - so distinctive fo the area.

[@LivingWalks]

Yes indeed, quite something isn't it!

[@Deepingpaul71]

Probably colleweston stone quarried from a few miles away, it’s quite common round here.

[@BoyInAFridge]

What a lovely town. I'd never heard of it, so thanks for sharing the walkthrough...

[@LivingWalks]

You're welcome BIAF, happy to introduce it to you.

[@Speedy636Germany]

Nice place for sure!

[@LivingWalks]

Hello Mr Scrooge-Kraut, it is indeed! Love your name btw!

[@keithneal5369]

I lived just a few miles away from Stamford, now live in Lincoln. I always think Stamford is like Lincoln on a smaller scale. When you live in places like this, it's amazing how you just take everything for granted.

[@LivingWalks]

Ah quite so Keith. I hope it evoked a good memory or two! Thanks for taking the time to connect. All the best to you.

[@mannx2000]

Thanks for the walk around, fond memories. I was here 43 years ago, as an A level student at Stamford College. Many things have changed.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there @mannx2000, interesting to hear you were here 43 years ago. I''d love to have seen it then, I hope some of the changes are for the better? Thanks for taking the time to drop by. All the best to you.

[@AmbientWalking]

😁😁😁😁 Your videos bring a smile to my boring days. Thank you! It's so good! 😁😁😁😁

[@LivingWalks]

Glad you like them AW, I appreciate your work too... I'd certainly rather watch the rain than be out in it.

[@user-kw5to9gl7v]

It's the most beautiful places to live in, I like it.👍🥳

[@LivingWalks]

We agree!

I lived in stamford from september 2013 to may 2014. I worked as an Italian language assistant at former queen eleanor school. I was 26 and it was my first time living alone and abroad. I arrived at night by a national express coach from London (!) with my suitcases fallen apart (they were cheap :-) and I stayed for a week at a nice b&b on caserton road. The hosts were lovely, they were an elderly couple who loved italy, then I moved to zebra cottages where I lived with a middle-aged woman called Barbara. It was an unforgettable experience, and everyone was so kind and welcoming to me. I also made a good friend who still I am in contact with. I visited the place again in 2019 before the pandemic and it was as beautiful as before, the park, the river, the buildings and of course the stunning burghley house. Me, An Italian guy from southern Italy, felt ath home. Stamford and England in general will forever hold a special place in my heart, despite Brexit 🙂

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there @gennymonaco, thanks for dropping by to share your experiences of your time in stamford from 2013 - 2014. It sounds like you have many a fond memory of that time. I'm glad your hosts loved italy, and everyone was so kind and welcoming to you. It makes me happy to hear that Stamford and England in general holds a special place in your heart, despite the plain oddness of Brexit!! All the very best to you.

[@alanyates4253]

oh how l miss my home town born there in 1955 and its hardly changed

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there Alan, we certainly enjoyed our visit, I can see how you'd miss it. Happy to bring a little of it back to you. Thanks for dropping by.

[@alanyates4253]

l'm, s0 glad that you enjoyed your visit@@LivingWalks

[@spectrumwalkingtours]

For a small(ish) town, it is really good to see the majority of retail units in use.

[@LivingWalks]

We felt the same, it does seem a bit of a rarity to see that, so it was uplifting. Our town of Leigh on sea is thriving with independent but nearby Southend is really struggling. I enjoyed your recent Ledbury, Herefordshire walk btw. Hope to stay in touch fellow walker. All the best to you.

[@Michael.Talbot]

Stamford is beautiful 👍

[@LivingWalks]

We quite agree Michael, it's certainly unique!

[@hudds4eva525]

Stamford born and bred, live up in Lincoln now but still love the old place...

[@LivingWalks]

Happy to bring a little of it back to your door friend, all the best to you.

[@Cityscapestroll]

[@richardsingh5827]

Nice video, I was there in the 90s

[@LivingWalks]

Hope this brought back a good memory or two Richard?

[@relaxbreathesleep1127]

That stonework is quite unique, reminiscent of Bath, thanks for showing the town to me LW.

[@LivingWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it RBS, it was our first time here and we had a lovely time and would certainly visit again. It was a perfect stop off on the way 'up North'.

[@peterpopp]

I will also be there with my wife in September 23 for a stopover on the way to Scotland. Thank you for the detailed tour of this enchanting city - we are really looking forward to it! You do a great job, full of heart and fervour, wonderful, a thousand thanks!

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there @peterpopp , I do hope you enjoy your stopover, I can't think of a nicer and more manageable place for it. Have a great trip all round and thanks for dropping by.

[@Cozycountry1]

It's a town not a city and expensive to shop in Stamford.

[@ttcfilmproduction]

[@Wendypansingl]

Thank you for making this😘 I used to live in Stamford….. my heart got broken and my soul got crushed in this beautiful place as my now ex husband abused our kids and me…. He used to drive Lamborghini through this peaceful town I loved…… I cannot but cry….. but thank you….

[@LivingWalks]

You're welcome Wendy, I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences, I do hope you have some better memories of the town too.

If you ever come back to the UK, could you PLEASE do a walk around Deal in Kent???

[@LivingWalks]

We’d love to if we’re ever around that way for sure.

[@ANGLIAVIRTUALLY]

I enjoyed walking with you around Stamford! Great tour 👌

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for coming, Hello AV, channels such as yours continue to enable us to see more of these lovely places too.

[@mindfulart8217]

What interesting architecture, a stunning little town all round that I knew so little about. Thanks for this lovely floaty journey through it. Much enjoyed.

[@LivingWalks]

Our pleasure MA, we too were pleasantly surprised.

[@phelipesilva8806]

Perfection♥️

[@LivingWalks]

Pleased you enjoyed it Phelipe!

[@wan9560]

Nice walk

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you Wan!

[@nicknewman7848]

15:36 If you take this journey and turn to your left here you will see the view from many period film and tv shows. This street is used for productions because it does not have many modern additions and it is easy to hide or temporarily remove the ones that are there while filming takes place.

[@LivingWalks]

Well hello there Nick, thanks very much for dropping by to let us know that, we appreciate it.

[@nicknewman7848]

@@LivingWalks My pleasure. I will check out some more of your vids. Thank you.

[@MrTorleon]

Hello my friends - wonderful, wonderful. Gosh, it`s simply ages since I last visited Stamford - some time in the 1970`s for a week with two other post-grad chums -history nuts like myself :) It wasn`t pedestrianized back then - and possibly not as clean looking - I jest ( gently ) I vaguely recall that the town was comprehensively destroyed during the War of the Roses, but rebuilt soon after.. St Mary`s Church is marvelous, both inside and out, but I was shocked to see one other ( de consecrated ) church now has shops were the nave would have been - that is so terribly sad, not to mention bordering on historic vandalism !!!!!!! Burghley House, ancestral home of the Cecil`s is not so far away, if I remember correctly ?? Anyway, jolly good my friends, top shelf in every way, as always - thanks ever so much, very well done :)

[@MrTorleon]

Addendum - I am at great risk of becoming a grumpy old man - so I need to be clear, that Stamford IS a beautiful town, and it`s farmers market has an enviable and well deserved reputation for quality local produce at reasonable prices - as the best country markets should be :)

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there Mr T, well we've never seen you as a grumpy old man ha ha! We always consider it to be a real pleasure to have you drop by with your knowledge and insights. Do stay in touch, we always look forward to it.

[@MrTorleon]

@@LivingWalks Thank you my friends - reassuring to know I am not quite at that stage yet !!!!!! An old colleague of mine wrote recently that she was aware that she was becoming a grumpy old woman - sounding just like her grandmother " I don`t know what the worlds coming to !!!!!!!! " ) - so perhaps I am on self alert :) Thank you once again !!

[@timothyzakaria7397]

​@@LivingWalks I would have never known this my birth mother was Jewish. I grew up knowing English culture but don't have a British accent I was most likely moved to the United States as a newborn. This is all speculation I have to prove it

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

Lots of antiquarian bookshops in Stamford.

[@LivingWalks]

Ah quite so!

[@willscott4785]

This didn't half make me homesick! (I live in mad, boring America now.)

[@LivingWalks]

Ah happy to have brought a little of it to your door will. All the best to you in the US!
