Itinerary
Visit Castle Combe
Castle Combe is surely one of the most photographed villages in all of England. Little has changed here for centuries – no street lights or TV aerials. This idyllic location typifies the look and feel of the Cotswolds and has featured in countless TV shows and movies.
Visit Lacock
Lacock invites you to travel back in time to the 13th century. Unsurprisingly, this picturesque village of medieval homes and charming shops is another very popular filming location. Lacock Abbey celebrates the achievements of William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of photography.
Visit Iford Manor Gardens
Iford Manor Gardens are a genuine hidden secret, where you can step into another world. This privately owned paradise, set within a breathtaking valley, was used to film “The Secret Garden” starring Colin Firth and drama series “Sanditon”.
Visit Bradford-on-Avon
Bradford-on-Avon has been a magnet for people since the Iron Age. It contains the oldest remaining Saxon church in England, the largest mediaeval Tithe Barn in the country and a historic canal that boasts several original locks.
