Over the last few months we’ve decided we want to get out more and see more of this fantastic area and country that we live in.
There are so many amazing places we’ve not yet seen, one of which is the prettiest village in Britain….Castle Coomb.
Castle Combe has been called ‘The Prettiest Village in England’ and with good reason; visitors have been coming to enjoy it for at least a century, and the small street leading from the Market Cross down to the By Brook is as picturesque today as it ever was.
Castle Combe’s history goes back much further than this though. The site of the castle is above today’s village, but little other than earthworks now mark its one time presence. Originally it was a British hill fort which became occupied by the Romans due to its proximity to The Fosse Way. After the Romans, came the Normans, who built the fort up into a Castle.
Where do you have near you that maybe we should come visit?
