Castle Combe, Medieval village in Wiltshire, England

Stone cottages with steep roofs line the streets of Castle Combe, where no new buildings have appeared in the village center since 1600.

The settlement, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 with 33 households, derives its name from a 12th-century fortress north of the village.

The 14th-century Market Cross marks the meeting point of three main streets, representing the former center of wool trade and cloth production.

The village provides designated parking areas for visitors at the upper end, with walking paths leading to the central square and St Andrew's Church.

Local residents maintain a tradition of selling homemade cakes, fresh flowers, and handcrafted items from tables outside their stone cottages.
