Lantern Hill
Conservation streets, courtyard gardens, and the county's oldest surviving terraces.
Overview
Lantern Hill is a conservation area in its entirety, which shapes everything about buying here: window replacements, paint colours and even garden walls fall under district guidance.
In exchange, the streetscape is remarkably intact — gas-pattern lamp standards, granite kerbs, and terraces that have kept their original proportions for two centuries.
Lifestyle
- Independent bookshops and two galleries on Candle Street
- Conservation-area status across all 31 streets
- Communal courtyard gardens behind most terraces
- Sunday chamber concerts at the old chapel
Local highlights
Candle Street
The commercial heart — a slow, deliberate parade of booksellers, a cheesemonger and the district's best-known wine bar.
The Chapel
Deconsecrated in 1971 and now a 200-seat recital room with an unusually good acoustic.
Weaver's Court
A cluster of eighteenth-century artisan cottages around a shared courtyard, among the most photographed addresses in the county.
