On our way between Devon and Derbyshire, we made a short stop in Lacock. This little town is famous for being one of the most well-preserved villages in England (with no telephone poles or satellite dishes, etc.) and has often been featured in films. We strolled around the town, which was quite small, but very cute. We also had an interesting encounter with a potter who claimed to be Winston Churchill's grandson, among other things...
Lacock's other claim to fame is Lacock Abbey, which was a location for some of the Harry Potter movies. (I believe almost every old building in England has been featured in one film or another.)
We toured the inside of the house, which was part ruined Abbey, part mansion. It was a very interesting combination.
The cloister was again one of my favorite parts. I love the green, peaceful courtyard at the center of the house.
And there were roses! A day in England is not complete without roses.
Our little visit to Lacock provided a really nice break in our drive, and it ended up being a quaint place to explore.
