The Cotswolds

Castle Combe

Castle Combe can be found just a few miles northeast of Chippenham on the B4039. This village is considered to be one of the prettiest in England and is right on the edge of the English Cotswolds. You could almost imagine that time has stood still in Castle Combe, no TV aerials or street lights and full of traditional honey coloured Cotswold Stone buildings. The wool trade played a strong part in the growth of the village in the past and the history goes right back to the 12th century when the Dunstanville family established a baronial seat and the descendants of the family can be traced to the present day. The village takes it name from the Castle of which only the earthworks remain.
