    A Brief History of Castle Combe

    Located in the Cotswolds, Castle Combe is often described as the ‘prettiest village in England’. The village offers a perfectly-preserved snapshot of medieval architecture and history, with no new houses built there since the 1600s!

    Castle Combe takes its name from a Norman fort that was built on the hill above the valley where the village now lies.

    During the Middle Ages, Castle Combe became a thriving village, thanks to the growth of a flourishing wool trade. The village was particularly known for its red and white cloth called ‘Castlecombe’, which was popular in the local markets of Bristol and Cirencester, as well as London and abroad. The village was home to many weavers who lived in the beautiful honey-hued cottages that attract so many tourists each year.

    What to see at Castle Combe

    There’s plenty of medieval features to explore at the heart of the village, from the Market Cross monument and old village water pump to a small set of stone steps used by riders to mount and dismount their horses.

    There’s also the picturesque church of St Andrew, which is home to the famous faceless Castle Combe clock – the oldest English medieval clock in use today.

    A trip to Castle Combe wouldn’t be complete with seeing the fairytale cottages that line the village’s main street. Don’t forget to capture a picture of them from the village’s classic photography spot, found at the river bridge!

    After you’ve explored Castle Combe close-up, head out to the surrounding hills for a lovely country walk. There’s a woodland footpath that can be accessed at the top of The Street, which will take you on a beautiful 5-mile loop around the village.

    Castle Combe on screen

    Castle Combe has a strict ban on modern features like satellite dishes and external wires being attached to its houses, which has helped the village maintain an authentic appearance throughout the years.

    As a result, Castle Combe has become a go-to filming location, with productions such as Stardust, The Wolf Man and Stephen Spielberg’s War Horse all shot within the village.

    Castle Combe Race Circuit

    As well as Castle Combe village, another huge draw to the area is the Castle Combe circuit – a 3km long track running around the perimeter of an old World War II airfield.

    Built shortly after Silverstone, it’s one of the longest-running race circuits in the country and has attracted star names such as Stirling Moss and John Surtees.
