These ruins are known as the "Sham Ruin" or "The Folly" and was purposed built to look like a ruined castle to block views of neighboring houses and enhance the landscape. Built around 1797–1798 by architect John Nash, despite its intentionally precarious, ruined appearance—specifically the, large stones balanced at an angle—it is a solid, substantial 60-foot-high wall.

Can be muddy in the centre section but still a nice traffic free route.

Pretty thatched cottages by the river on Mons Lane.

Cute historic high street with nice pubs and cafes. Pedestrian only area in the south. Watch out for peacocks.

Located in the 13th century National Trust village of Lacock we’re within easy walking distance of the historical Lacock Abbey, the Saxon church of St Cyriac, the 15th century tithe barn and plenty of village stores and craft fairs. Famed for appearing in many screen productions including Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, Lacock village is centrally based between Chippenham, Melksham, Bath and Swindon making us the perfect place for friends and family to meet.

Lacock Abbey was founded in the early 13th century. It remained a nunnery until the 16th century, when it was sold and became a private home. Today it's most famous as the home of William Fox Talbot. In 1835, he made and developed what was possibly the first negative within the house. The National Trust own and manage the property. It's paid entry for non-members. You do get a good view of the house from here and the meadow between here and the house.

St Cyriacs church dates back to around 1300, but it's likely that there was a Norman church before it, and probably a Saxon church before that. It's a pretty little church in the corner of Lacock village. Harry Potters parent's house (film location) is next door.

The National Trust café at Lacock is in the village rather than the paid entry Lacock Abbey. It serves a good range of drinks, snacks and light meals with profit going to support the work of the Trust. Indoor and outdoor seating and a public toilet next door.
