Lacock Abbey is a manor house built upon the grounds of a former convent. The building has been modified an extended throughout history and reflects an array of time periods. This is also where William Henry Fox Talbot (of the Fox Talbot museum) developed the first photo negative. However, a far more exciting fact is that the Abbey was used during the filming of Harry Potter! The scenes where Harry discovers the Mirror of Erised and when Harry hears the basilik after leaving dentention with Professor Lockhart were filmed here. Scenes of Fantastic beasts and where to find them have also been shot here -RoxyB.
Unfortunately the abbey rooms were closed for conservation in the winter. But honestly the cloisters were more than impressive. Go have a gander. -TommyC.
