A full day is planned in Gloucester Cathedral and Lacock Abbey before heading to London.

Impressive Gloucester Cathedral has been the place of worship for more than 1,300 years and with its stunning Gothic architecture it remains the centerpiece of Gloucester itself. The cloisters are regarded as one of the most beautiful architectural gems in Britain and the cathedral provides the backdrop for several key scenes in the first two movies. Pupils from King’s School, which adjoins the cathedral, were used as extras. In the first movie it was home to the corridor of the Fat Lady’s portrait and it featured heavily in the ‘Troll Scene’. In the second movie it featured a corridor where the bloodstained writing appeared, informing the school of the opening of the “Chamber of Secrets”.

Lacock

The coach will then drive us to the lovely medieval village of Lacock which is also the location of picturesque 13th Century Lacock Abbey. The Abbey provided locations for various interior scenes at “Hogwarts School” and most recently a great deal of footage for the Half-Blood Prince film. After our tour of Lacock we will board the coach where we will be whisked to London to check into our hotel.
