Day 3
- International Bomber Command Centre, Lincoln (guided tour). Opened in 2015, the IBCC is a memorial to mark the service and sacrifice of World War II aircrew, ground crew and support staff who lost their lives whilst serving with Bomber Command. At the heart of the IBCC sit the Memorial Spire and the Walls of Names. There are two Peace Gardens.
- Burghley House, Stamford (guided tour). A magnificent house, built by William Cecil as home to the dynasty that he founded, Burghley is one of the largest and grandest surviving houses of the 16th century and a wonderful example of the great Elizabethan ‘prodigy’ houses, built to honour the Queen.
