The village of Lacock

Lacock is a popular tourist destination and with Mad Max Tours, I had the chance to spend a couple of minutes there. If you walk through the streets of this village, you will see why it is so popular. The village seems still to be in a past century with only the cards and people reminding you of modern ages. That is also why parts of one of the Harry Potter movies were filmed here.

If there are not too many toursists, you can catch a feeling of how the village looked like a couple of centuries ago. Just try it out!

Take some time and stroll through the narrow little lanes and gaze upon mainly the old buildings. The construction styles date back a few centuries. I'm always amazed at how they can find artisans who can replicate and repair these old buildings in the original format.

A village frozen in time

 It's Lacock, not Laycock (That's a glitch in VT's database). Even if you haven't visited Lacock it may look familiar, and that's because it's featured in some famous costume period dramas, the Pride...
