The day continues onto the beautiful and timeless Cotswolds village of Lacock, which dates back to the 13th century and where cars are the only sign of modern-day life. Little wonder it has been used as a backdrop to countless films and TV dramas including Downton Abbey, Harry Potter and several BBC productions such as Pride and Prejudice. The ancient Abbey in the heart of the village boasts a fascinating history and a charming museum that celebrates the invention of photography here in 1839 by William Henry Fox Talbot.
