Castle Combe
Castle Combe is a village in Wiltshire in the valley of the By Brook. The local visitor site identifies the Market Cross in the lower village and the street that descends to the brook. Wiltshire Council describes the settlement in the narrow valley carved by the stream.
Castle Combe — from the Market Cross to the By Brook
The lower village of Castle Combe follows a small valley. Walking down from the Market Cross to the brook reveals how closely the street, houses and water fit together.
Wiltshire’s community history places Castle Combe in the narrow valley of the By Brook. The village map marks the Market Cross and the stream, and the photograph shows houses along the water near a low stone bridge.
Begin with the junction at the cross and follow the slope with your eye. The changing alignment of the houses gives a clearer sense of the village plan than any single view from the bridge.
