Wiltshire has a number of interesting visitor destinations. Lacock Abbey, most recently seen in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is a homage to photographic history and is surrounded by an unspoilt 13th century village. The Caen Hill Café provides you with delicious food, made from local, home-grown produce, which you can enjoy while watching the boats tackle the famous Caen Hill Flight.
