Lacock Abbey High Street, Lacock, England

The basics

Included in the Domesday Book and established roughly 1,000 years ago, the historical village of Lacock offers a snapshot of England’s history. Located at the southwestern edge of the Cotswolds near Bath, Lacock was once a center for milling. Today, it’s home to multiple Grade I and II listed landmarks, from Lacock Abbey and St. Cyriac’s Church to the Sign of the Angel inn and Lacock Bridge, over the River Avon.

Lacock features on numerous Cotswolds itineraries and is often paired with visits to Bath, Stonehenge, or Salisbury. Small-group and private tours offer a personal way to explore the area.

Inner Circle Access of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock Day Tour from London
This is the way to see Stonehenge. The experience of being up close and inside it is really special. Just looking from the outside would have not have been same. Our Tour Guide was very nice, knowledgeable and organized. Transportation was easy and clean. The other features Bath and Lacock were very neat as well, but the star is going inside Stonehenge.

Frank was lovely. Knowledgeable, thoughtful and fun! Richard got us there and back safely in the rain and horrific winds. Extra credit for that! We would book again in a heartbeat.

Inner Circle Access of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock Day Tour from London
Absolutely mesmerising experience to be part of the early morning inner access trip to Stonehenge. The world was still and the stones were magnificent. The place has an air of mystery about it. Also enjoyed visiting the town of Lacock and sampling the local bakery goods. The town takes you back in time. The city of Bath was enjoyable where I tasted Lady Lunn's buns and explored the city. Had a fabulous tour guide throughout the trip (sorry cant remember her name) !!

Inner Circle Access of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock Day Tour from London
Our guide was excellent and Paul the driver got us there safe and quickly. This tour is amazing for anyone wanting the VIP access to the inner circle of Stonehenge. Lacock is beautiful but the £10.50 for the breakfast at the George isn’t worth it. Bath is beautiful and definitely worth seeing. This tour is an absolute must to see quite a few things in 12 hours. Warning: it’s suuuuuper cold in the morning. Bundle up and bring scarves and hats and your thickest jacket.

Inner Circle Access of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock Day Tour from London
This is the second time I have taken this tour and it was enjoyable both times. It is priceless being able to go into the stone circle and not have to fight the crowds. Lacock and Bath were charming and our guide Pepe was knowledgeable and entertaining. Would recommend this tour and would do it again if back in the UK.

Because it was snowing, we did not get to go to the inner circle, which was very sad. But Andrew, our tour guide was amazing. He made the whole trip fun and entertaining.

Inner Circle Access of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock Day Tour from London
This was an incredible experience! Carol, (our guide), Nuno (our driver), and Chris (our host at Stonehenge) we’re all fantastic. I enjoyed the short stop in Lacock and the visit to Bath but the true highlight was being able to walk around Stonehenge with our small group and our host. It was a truly memorable experience.

Tony was an outstanding guide! We had a blast and learned so much about the area that we never would have learned on our own. We are so grateful for this experience and hope to do another tour with him again.
