Making our way to a local pub for lunch, we passed by the Red Lion again and the hideous blue cherry picker was moved back just enough for me to snap this picture. I was no longer quite so vexed.
A lovely house located at the end of the street, complete with a horse at the left
Professor McGonagall was keeping close tabs on us.
We had a tasty lunch at The George Inn, established in 1361. Yes, you read that properly. 1361.
One of the pub's claims to fame is the fireplace and dog wheel. The fireplace houses a rotating roasting spit which was once powered by a specially-trained dog known as a 'Turnspit' who continuously ran inside the wooden wheel. This particular wheel is the last in England still in its original position.
Many collages of movies filmed here were on display, including one of
The Half-Blood Prince.
The last stop in Lacock was Professor Slughorn's house, featured in the beginning of
The Half Blood Prince.
