Often dubbed “the prettiest village in England”, Castle Combe is the crown jewel of the Cotswolds, filled with charming streets. A classically English village, its most famous “The Street” slices through the 17th-century village, past its ancient honey-hued stone cottages and towards its iconic bridge. Looking as if it’s been frozen in time, The Street has become a symbol of English charm and is one of the country’s most photogenic locations.
