Lacock - National Trust village
1 / 5
In the heart of England's Wiltshire county lies the picturesque village of Lacock, a time-capsule of history, culture, and photography. Its cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and serene abbey form a backdrop that has captivated photographers for centuries. In fact, Lacock holds the unique distinction of being the birthplace of photography, as it was here that William Henry Fox Talbot, a pioneer in the field, developed the first photographic process. Lacock's legacy as the birthplace of photography is proudly embraced, with the Fox Talbot Museum and the Royal Photographic Society's National Centre for Photography showcasing the village's unique connection to this art form.
