This is some kind of wonderful. Lacock is the most exquisite village in England. No wonder Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice and Emma were filmed here. We're talking a living village: just four streets, houses of every century from the 13th onward, the river Avon and a swabbling brook, Snaylesmead Meadow and Lacock Abbey. And as for Avebury, it beggars all description. 
 
 
The largest stone circle complex on earth, it speaks to us across the ages, speaks of a secret geometry and lost science, of an ancient time more clairvoyant and star-born than ours. And that's not to mention the white horses cut into the hillside or Silbury Hill, the largest Neolithic monument in Europe. It's the same age as – indeed, it is England's Great Pyramid. And on that note, here's a little feast-your-eyes photo-essay on Avenbury & Lacock!
