Lacock Village

Highlight • Historical Site

The pretty Cotswold village of Lacock seems frozen in time, preserved to look as it would have done 200 years ago - minus the cars. Its olde worlde charm has brought filmcrews to its streets, with Lacock's most famous appearances including 'Downton Abbey', BBC series 'Pride and Prejudice', and 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'.

View of Lacock Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Lacock Abbey was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. It remained a nunnery until the suppression of Roman Catholic institutions in England in the 16th century. Today, it is looked after by the National Trust (paid entry/National Trust membership) and also houses the Fox Talbot museum of photography.

Some of the scenes in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were filmed at Lacock.

Cafe with outdoor seating is free to public.
