Going back in time at the Lacock Village
Time has come to a standstill at the quaint village of Lacock. In the rural county of Wiltshire, England, cars look oddly out of place in this 18th century hamlet, so do people donning modern attire. In their place, you’d expect horse carts and carriages pulling up with dapper gentlemen in waistcoat and breeches. I came across Lacock on my one-day tour of Stonehenge from Bath.

Married into the extravagant lifestyle of French royalty, she sought to retreat to the simple life in a rustic village, in the middle of the Palace grounds. The Palace of Versailles may awe with its opulence and size, but it’s really the Hameau de la Reine (The Queen’s hamlet) that took my breath away. Designed by the Queen’s preferred architect, Richard Mique and painter Hubert Robert, the hamlet is self-contained, with a meadow filled with lakes and ponds, strewn with shrubs and flowers and quaint cottages…
