The village of Lacock is a time‑capsule of medieval and Georgian England. Its streets are lined with timber‑framed cottages, stone houses and ancient inns, many dating from the 15th to 18th centuries. The National Trust maintains much of the village, preserving its cobbled lanes and absence of modern street furniture. Church Street winds past St Cyriac’s church toward the Abbey, and the surrounding houses remain private homes despite their fame. Visitors can stroll through the village to experience historic architecture that has featured in countless period dramas and wizarding adventures.
