Lacock (Wiltshire, England)



After leaving Special Plants Nursery, we headed to Lacock, an English village that is virtually locked in time and owned by the National Trust. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and many of the town's structures were built in the 14th century. The village has been used for many film locations, including some of the Harry Potter films, Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Cranford, etc. 

In addition to the residences (I cannot imagine living there with all the tourists), there were many gift stores, pubs, church and best of all, a chocolate shop. I had a delicious traditional sausage roll.

What I find the most exciting in English country villages are the old stone buildings, the facad, the mossy garden walls. Some have been standing for hundreds of years and they are so well preserved.
