Lacock 5

After lunch we took a nice walk outside the town, then loaded up and headed for the last stop of the day.

Lacock 4

The George Inn is ancient. It's been continually running since 1361. It's impossible to take a real picture of the place because it's made up of lots of tiny rooms, but here's the bar. The bathrooms are in a separate building out back because there was no plumbing when the place opened.

It has a cool atmosphere and both the food and beer were great. There was also little sweet shop called CoCoChemistry right next door that had chocolate to rival the Swiss.

We stopped in Lacock because it's a nice midway point between Bath and Stonehenge to stretch your legs and have some lunch. In our case at the George Inn.

There's Dominick, our tour guide again.

Lacock 2

He was narrowly beaten by French inventor Nicéphore Niépc as the inventor of photography, but he was the first to create paper-based negatives.

Lacock

Lacock is a tiny town founded in 1232 that today has a population of about 200 people. It's best known for making juvenile delinquents giggle every time they hear the name. It also happens to be where the very first picture in England was taken in 1835 by William Henry Fox Talbot.

The Path To Lacock

Our next stop would be for lunch in the quaint little town of Lacock. On the way Dominick took every chance he could to point out examples of the dry stone walls common in this area. He was very excited about them, I'm not sure why but here's one anyway.

Bath 8

And if you're going to visit it Bath, you should probably visit the Roman Baths the town is named for. They really aren't that impressive, but you might as well.
