Description

Set in rural Wiltshire, Lacock village is famous for its picturesque streets, historic buildings and its more recent role as a television and film location. The Abbey, located at the heart of the village within its own woodland grounds, is a quirky country house of various architectural styles, built upon the foundations of a former nunnery. Visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister court, giving a sense of the Abbey's monastic past. The museum celebrates the achievements of former Lacock resident William Henry Fox Talbot, famous for his contributions to the invention of photography.

Don't miss

    Discover the history of the Abbey and newly opened rooms.
    Enjoy the grounds' spring bulbs, summer borders and greenhouse.
    Wander the historic village streets, enjoying shopping and a meal.

Making the most of your day
A full programme of events runs throughout the year, including family fun days, themed activities, open-air theatre, exhibitions and walks. Dogs: welcome in the Abbey grounds in winter only

Home of the Bankes family for more than 300 years, this striking 17th-century house is noted for its lavish interiors. The outstanding art collection includes paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck, Titian and Tintoretto, with the largest private collection of Egyptian artefacts in the UK. Outside, stroll across the beautiful lawns towards the restored Japanese tea garden. There are several waymarked walks through the surrounding parkland, with its fine herd of North Devon cattle, and the 3,443-hectare (8,500-acre) estate is dominated by the Iron Age hillfort of Badbury Rings, home to fourteen varieties of orchid.

Don't miss

    Outstanding art collection, including works by Rubens and Titian.
    View the restored Tintoretto in the Dining Room.
