About Castle Combe
Castle Combe
Castle Combe, often regarded as one of England’s most picturesque villages, is located in Wiltshire’s Bybrook Valley within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village, named after the 12th-century castle that once stood nearby, features honey-coloured limestone cottages, winding streets, and the peaceful Bybrook River, creating a fairytale atmosphere. With roots dating back to Roman times, Castle Combe flourished during the medieval period as a centre for the wool trade, and its historical charm remains preserved, as no new homes have been built since the 1600s. Notable landmarks include St. Andrew’s Church, which houses one of the oldest working clocks in the country, and the Market Cross, a reminder of the village’s medieval market history. Castle Combe has also become a popular filming location, appearing in movies like War Horse and Stardust.
