The village is famous for its picturesque streets, historic buildings, and more recently, as a TV and film location. The village's most famous appearances include 'Downton Abbey', BBC's 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Cranford' and the films 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' and 'Wolfman'.
Lacock Abbey, located at the heart of the village within its own woodland grounds, is a quirky country house of various architectural styles, built upon the foundations of a former nunnery. Experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister court, giving a sense of the Abbey's monastic past. Discover the important contributions to photography by former Lacock resident, Henry Fox Talbot, in the Fox Talbot Museum. It's the perfect place to spend a whole day. Entrance included.
