Set in peaceful countryside, Beautiful cloisters and a very interesting history, and that's before you get to Fox Talbot's injection of the photographic negatives. Volunteers throughout the abbey yet of us girls and interesting collections of painting, books and artefacts. Easy to spend several hours here

Beautiful place! Interesting history and very approachable and well informed National trust volunteers peppered in each room. Geoff (Jeff?) was notably captivating with his stories and facts. Really worth a visit.

First visit - Valentine's Day 2025 (coincidence not because of! 😄) and too early in the year for the Abbey itself to be open. My daughter came with and she isn't a NT member but, as the Abbey was closed, she got a discount (from a hefty £20 down to £13). It was a cold day but we enjoyed walking round the grounds and the cloisters (which featured in the 1st 2 Harry Potter films) and the spaces which led off the cloisters that were used by the nuns for various functions. Our tickets also gave us entry to the Henry Fox Talbot museum. Fox Talbot inherited Lacock Abbey and is famous as being the English inventor of photography (there was a Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niépce who was doing similar at about the same time!) The Abbey site is surrounded by a quaint village with a school, shops, cafés and pubs.

Abbiamo visitato questa fantastica abbazia ad inizio Marzo, l’ ingresso costa 20 sterline e comprende la visita all’ abbazia, al parco che la circonda, al giardino botanico ed alla mostra fotografica dedicata all’ ideatore della fotografia nato proprio qui Lacock. L’abbazia è veramente spettacolare conservata e mantenuta alla perfezione. Il chiostro è stata una delle location della saga di harry potte, il corridoio della scuola di magia di hogworts. Il giardino botanico purtroppo era spoglio visto il periodo della visita, ma il parco è qualcosa di meraviglioso con viali alberati e statue disseminate durante il percorso. La mostra fotografica è molto bella, con un’ esposizione di macchine fotografiche di ogni tempo. Davvero consigliata la visita

Enjoyed the walk in the gardens and the photo exhibition. Lively houses in the village, spoilt by too many people.

We got our national trust membership that day and had a look around. Busy but not too bad. Can walk around the grounds.

Very pretty! As a Harry Potter fan I appreciated visiting a filming location, especially as the Abbey itself does not intentionally promote or harp on this fun fact. It also has a fun exhibition on the historical advancements of photography.
