Very little has changed in over 200 years to the houses and buildings in Lacock village. It's so remarkable that it feels like a toy village perfectly preserved in time. It's a quintessential Cotswolds village that has been used as a film location in many famous television shows and films.
It's one of the nearest National Trust sites to Bristol beaten only by a handful of other parks and gardens. You can drive there from central Bristol in around 40 minutes if there's no traffic along the M4. By public transport, it's a bit more of a trek, but it is possible to get there in around two hours if you're lucky with the bus and train changes.
The entire village of Lacock is owned by the National Trust, including 90 properties, and just 1,000 people call it their home with most houses rented out to families who have lived there for several generations. Even in winter, Lacock was bursting with tourists stalking the streets steeped in history. St Cyriac's Church, tithe barn and Lacock Abbey are Grade I listed and date back to the Middle Ages.
