Wales Trip, Dec 2006 - Lacock in Wiltshire

(Once I've finished with writing up my Wales trip, I will be ready for the Greece trip. Hang on there!)

Lacock is not exactly in Wales. It is a small village in Wiltshire, England. We stopped by the village on the way to Wales.

The village has an unspoiled 17th Century appearance. This is because the village is almost entirely owned and maintained by the National Trust.

This village is a popular choice for period dramas, including the BBC's 1995 series of Pride and Prejudice.

Can you spot which P&P scenes are filmed here?

Part the Harry Potter movies are also flimed here:

The Lacock Abbey's cloisters and side rooms were transformed into the classrooms at Hogwarts School. The location was also used for Harry's discovery of the Mirror of Erised.

We had our X'mas Eve Dinner at the local Red Lion Inn. It was a lovely evening.
