Morning visit to historic Stamford, 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, the Golden Bowl, and, more recently, The Crown. It's no wonder that visitors come from far and wide to experience Stamford's charm, character and outstanding shopping and restaurants. With time to explore and obtain lunch.

Today we visit the beautiful area of Rutland, England's smallest county with a visit to Barnsdale Gardens and a scenic Rutland Water Cruise with cream tea onboard the Rutland Belle.

Today we head into the lovely Lincolnshire countryside to the historic port town of Boston, a true hidden gem nestled in the South of the county. Known for its impressive history, local food & drink, and picturesque green spaces, there's so much to discover in Boston. Enjoy time to explore and obtain lunch, perhaps visit iconic St Botolph's Church, known locally at 'The Boston Stump', a commanding structure with an impressive heritage or explore the impressive architecture of Fydell House, a quaint Queen Anne-era manor house with preserved gardens, today the choice is yours. Depart Boston at 14.30hrs to return to the hotel for free time to relax and enjoy the leisure facilities.
