Hello. I hope you enjoy this calm relaxing walking video.

This morning we are up with the lark and walking around the beautiful streets and lanes of Lacock village in Wiltshire.

The sun is rising and we start our walk on the footpath from Reybridge to Lacock. We then journey down a single-track lane towards the centre of the village. Before we arrive in the village we will pass Lacock’s flowing ford. It is quiet today but during the summer you will see children dipping their toes in the water or playing Poohsticks on the bridge.

Lacock is well known for its abbey and cloisters as well as a museum dedicated to William Fox Talbot, one of the fathers of modern photography. Lacock is mentioned in the Domesday Book and Lacock Abbey was founded in the early 13th century. Many of the houses in the village are from the 18th century or earlier.

The village has been used as a filming location for TV shows and movies such as: Pride and Prejudice, Cranford, Downton Abbey, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Beauty and the Beast and The Other Boleyn Girl.

As we walk around it is early and very quiet. During our walk we pass some friendly dog walkers and a runner out catching the fresh morning air. See if you can spot the cat on the lane towards the end of the video.

As well as the flowing ford we can hear lots of waking birds calling out in appreciation of the morning sunrise. Lacock doesn’t have much passing traffic but we do see and hear the occasional car. There is a busier A-road close-by that we can sometimes hear.

We are particular fortunate this morning to have such a lovely sky and light that bounces off the lovely tones of the ancient brickwork on the buildings. If you have never been to Lacock I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of this video.
