Lacock, Wiltshire

And now for something different: Harry Potter country in the English countryside. This is the tiny and picturesque village of Lacock, with its several taverns, abbey, hunting lodge, and stores.

Here at 'The George' (Wadworth) Inn there are some photos of the making of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" just outside on these streets, and down the lanes of old stone houses and pubs.

Inside the tavern there is an unusual heirloom - I'm just reporting it! Not my doing! - which is a "dog wheel". Seemingly the height of cruelty looking at it now, but it was... real. A dog ran like a hamster in a wheel, which through pulleys turned a rotisserie which was attached. Photo included. Beer extra. (I have a video of this working, sans dog, by request!) Other than this.... sweet sweet village.

A quotation by Krutch, Joseph Wood

Children can be taken occasionally to the country to see what the sun looks like as they are taken now to see a hill or a mountain. Probably many of them will not want to go anyway, for the country will be to them only what it was to the London club man: “A damp sort of place where all sorts of birds fly about uncooked.”

Joseph Wood Krutch (1893-1970) American educator, writer, critic, naturalist

The Twelve Seasons, “June” (1949)
