Join us for a trip back in time to Lacock village, abbey, museum and beautiful grounds.
The Quirky Lacock country house and abbey has monastic roots and an original medieval cloister. It was once home to Henry Fox Talbot, a photographic pioneer. The 'on-site' Fox Talbot museum explores the history of photography and Lacocks role within it. It also hosts changing photography exhibitions.
After Visiting the abbey, take a wander around the beautiful village, nothing has really changed in the last 200 years! There are pubs, a bakery and various local gift shops to explore. The village is so beautiful that it has been the backdrop for many much loved movies. Firstly, HARRY POTTER! You'll find Harry potter's parents' house, Slughorns hideaway, Hogwarts corriders (The cloisters at the abbey) Snape's potion classroom and the Babberton Arms from the the Half-Blood prince (Sign of the Angel in Lacock) See more detail here.
