day 2 Lacock Village and Abby

Well we had to get up early to get breakfast and get on the bus.  No one told me that i would have to get up at 6:00am every single day!  But I did.

Our first stop today was Lacock Village.  This is a charming rural village untouched by modern development.  Lacock Village dates back to the 13th-century, and remains largely unchanged over the centuries.  It has many limewashed, half-timbered and stone houses.  

this is High Street, or the main street.  there are currently 160 people living here full time. 

the Abbey.

Lacock Abbey (near Chippenham/ Wiltshire) was founded in 1232

 

the cauldrin was already here - but they used the original in two of the Harry Potter movies.

there's Billy...

this is the view as we drove away! 

I really loved the Abbey.  we walked around the grounds and wandered a bit thru the gardens. 

the we were off for lunch
