Lacock

Lacock village, set in rural Wiltshire, is owned almost in its entirety by the National Trust and attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled appearance.

The Abbey, located at the heart of the village within its own woodland grounds, is a country house of various architectural styles, built upon the foundations of a former nunnery. Visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister court, giving a sense of the Abbey’s monastic past.

The museum celebrates the achievements of former Lacock resident, William Henry Fox Talbot, famous for his contributions to the invention of photography.
