LACOCK VILLAGE (Wiltshire)





































Lacock Village is owned by the National Trust and was also the setting for the TV Series "Cranford". A very scenic village and well worth visiting to see the very old buildings there.
The Abbey too is very Interesting and that was used for filming scenes in a "Harry Potter" movie. The Abbey also has a window that was the subject of the very first negative taken using a Camera! Taken by Fox-Talbot. Visitors are also allowed to take a Photo of that very window.....and is the only subject allowed for photography inside the Abbey.
The village also has a very nice Tea shop (Photo above) called the "Hunting Lodge Tea Rooms" where you can get some very nice lunches and cakes. It also has a tea garden too.
The village bakery is also worth visiting.
I was lucky with the weather on my visit on 11th October 2008, as it was warm & Sunny, which helps when taking nice photos. I hope to go there again oneday.
