Highlights

Our comfortable coach will deliver you to the heart of beautiful Lacock, an unspoilt village almost entirely owned by the National Trust. As you explore the quaint streets lined with chocolate-box cottages, you might have a sense of deja-vu - Lacock is a popular filming location and has been featured in the Harry Potter movies, Downton Abbey and the BBC's Pride and Prejudice amongst others. You have free time to wander, perhaps visit the Abbey with it's impressive cloisters and the Fox Talbot Museum of photography. 

​

Next, we will make the short hop to Westonbirt, the National Arboretum. This protected woodland has around 15,000 different tree specimens and is the perfect place to take a relaxing walk and enjoy the vibrant colours of the autumn leaves. Your ticket is included in the cost of your trip! There is a shop and restaurant on site, ideal for a pre or post walk coffee and cake treat.
