Because our day started so early at Stonehenge, Monday was jam-packed with activities. After Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Avebury and Old Wardour Castle, we made our final stop at Lacock Abbey. Scenes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets were filmed here. Film geeks, are you ready?
Remember that scene in the first movie, at Christmas-time? The courtyard is covered in snow, Harry's out there in the middle to release Hedwig. This is THAT COURTYARD. Loves it!
The corridors all had these medallions in the ceiling and they were all different. I was enthralled, kept craning my head and not watching where I was walking. Good thing there were all of six of us in the entire building.
Detail of one medallion.
I'd bet this faded mural was incredible when it was new.
Lovely vaulted ceilings.
