The Surrounding Area This well known village, with its well preserved stone houses, pub and church, is very popular and only ten minutes away. One of England's most beautiful villages, it sits in the wooded Cotswold valley of 'By Brook'. Its origins lie with Roman Fort at Castle Hill although after the Danes and the Norman conquest little remains. Streets lined with mellowed limestone cottages meet at the village market centre. Other features include a triple arched bridge, church with 15th century tower, the Dower House and the White Hart Inn. The lovely cottages and local history combine to make Castle Combe a photographer's paradise. Castle Combe Motor Racing, just outside the village, has events in the summer, newly improved spectator facilities, a go-kart track and a skid pan. |
