Overview

Rural Wiltshire countryside is the place to park your wheeled vehicle and walk under big blue skies until your legs groan for mercy. But your heart will say, ’go on’. In the historic village of Lacock, you step back into the past, share notes with a 200-year old local…literally everything is unchanged. Stone houses, medieval barn, village church, Abbey and The George Pub… frozen in time. Any Harry Potter fans? Lap up the movie location sites in these rickety old lanes. Ditto Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice movie buffs. One good thing leads to another. The city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, does justice to its immodest description…’a drop of golden honey in a sea of green’. The walking tour is your best bet to ogle shamelessly at the best Georgian architecture in all of Britain, including the Gothic Abbey and ancient Roman Baths. This stop would easily bag the showstopper title of your entire trip. The Somerset countryside is a stone’s throw away, but that is another story.
