  • Castle Combe

    3.6 Miles from Lucknam Park

    Castle Combe is situated on the southern-most edge of the Cotswolds. Castle Combe has been called ‘The Prettiest Village in England’; visitors have been coming to enjoy its charms 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.

    The village has played host to many filming activities, the most famous of these being ‘Doctor Doolittle’ filmed in and around the village in 1966. More recently the village has had a major role in ‘War Horse’, ‘Stardust’ and ‘The Wolf Man’. The village is also a sanctuary to wildlife as it is a conservation area and enjoys the beauty of nature at its very best.
