On the bus to Stamford - first stop Uffington

Well known for its snowdrops and scarecrows you can also add scents and sounds to the list of the attractions of Uffington.

As you step off the 301 bus bound for Stamford at the brick-and-tile-built bus stop just opposite the Church and take a wander through the village you will quickly be transported back into a quiet rural setting. The school with its tablet: ‘This house and school the property of George Augustus Frederick Ablemarle Earl of Lindsey, Here built 1848’, predating the Elementary Education Act of 1870, nestles  next to the Church, and sheep calmly graze in the paddock. Go a little farther and there is a charming village hall with a miniature library in a specially constructed box in a well-tended garden. There is a sign indicating where the Old Post Office once stood. You will notice the old water pump standing sentinel on the side of the road erected by ‘Queen Victoria’s loyal subjects in Uffington in commemoration of the 60th year of her great and glorious reign.’ There is a proper working farm, with tractors, a cockerel and a cow lowing right at the heart of the village.
