In my last post, I mentioned that I went to Lacock village & abbey. Pride & Prejudice, Emma & Cranford were filmed here. Here are the some of the photos as promised.
Tea room and gift shop
A lovely location for a wedding
This shop is gorgeous, a wonderful scent greats you as you walk in.
Click on the link to have a look at their website
Lavender bouquets for sale outside the shop
I love the way the bars of soap are displayed.
At the back of the shop they sell all sorts of gifts and cards
I couldn't resist taking a picture of this little dog patiently waiting for his owner to come out of the post office
One of the many stalls in Lacock. It is so nice that this system still exists based on trust. Choose your items and simply put the money through the letter box.
One of the shop windows
The village bakery
One of many interesting doors
Lacock village is full of beautiful architecture
This made me smile as I walked by the National Trust shop. All the men waiting for their wives or partners....
I fell in love with this house! The photo doesn't do it justice. It has to be seen! I wanted to take more pictures but I didn't want to intrude on their privacy by leaning over the gate...
More to follow...
A bientôt!

Ooooh I love to stroll around here with you, even the litter is beautifully kept away from sight. I cannot wait to see part 2. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics ... TY for sharing. Re the house & privacy ... stretch, oh so stretch over that fence ... chuckle! TTFN~ MArydon
ReplyDeleteHi Isabelle, I can't get enough of seeing your beautiful country. This is the only place in the world that I just have to see in person some day. I love the fact that this is the place where my favorite movies were filmed. I can see why, all the buildings are so charming. I love a stone house!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
June
Gorgeous photos,Isabelle!
ReplyDeleteIt's on my list ;-)
Gorgeous photos, i'll have to make a trip there one day! What i would do to live in a lovely old stone house... I also love those postcards you took a photo of, especially the distressed union jack one!

I've always admired the trust that exists in Lacock, having bought many bunches of flowers outside residents' homes there in the past. What a lovely place to live...

I really love the soap counter. I love the different smells of the soaps. I would like to learn to make it one day.
ReplyDeleteThe dog who is waiting outside looks like it is thinking "come on woof I'm wating" I really love the classic car with white ribbon on.

I love Lacock, we took visitors there for the first time last year and I was enchanted by the place, I was also enchanted by a fabulous tea in one of the tea shops followed by an enchanting ice cream!!!!!

You took some really great photos of Lacock in Wiltshire. I live only afew miles from the village and have visted it many times. The last time I was there was with my friend from Japan and you will never guess what? That little terrier dog was sitting next to the litter hut just as you have taken it in your photo. Great blog by the way.
ReplyDeleteWonderfull pictures !!
