Lacock is a charming, medieval English village set on the edge of the Cotswolds near the market town of Chippenham. The old stone buildings and half-timbered houses are extraordinarily well-preserved, and despite having featured as a location in many films and historical dramas (Cranford, Pride and Prejudice, and the Harry Potter films, to name but a few), the village still maintains a peaceful and timeless atmosphere.
The centre of Lacock is just a short stroll away from the Old Rectory and offers some outstanding pubs and restaurants with excellent cuisine. Tearooms, a bakery, jewellery and antique shops, and a beautician all add to the character of the village.
Lacock Abbey, another Harry Potter filming location to the west of the village, was the home of William Fox-Talbot, a pioneer of the photographic negative. The Abbey, now owned by the National Trust, is open to the public and houses a photographic museum.
