Uffington, Lincolnshire

Uffington, Lincolnshire

Uffington is a village in the valley of the River Welland, between Stamford and The Deepings, in the English county of Lincolnshire.

The village lies 3km east of Stamford on the A16 where the low Jurassic clay and cornbrash ridge on which it stands lies thirty metres or so above the level of The Fens. Uffington Park, the grounds of a country house demolished by fire in 1904, lies between the village and the river. Subsidiary buildings of Uffington House remain.

Until 1961 the village was served by Uffington and Barnack railway station. Today, the village is served by Delaine buses on the Stamford to Market Deeping route.
