Description
Castle Combe lies in a valley in Wiltshire not far from my home, and is considered one of the loveliest villages in the country. It is one of the most visited and frequently finds favour as a backdrop for period television and cinema dramas. Dr Doolittle etc.
Its adjacent wooded hill was fortified by Britons, Saxons and Normans and like most other places in the Cotswolds, Castle Combe's prosperity was based on sheep and wool. The village was important enough at one time to be granted the privilege of holding a fair where wool and sheep were traded.
David and I met up today and we had a lovely day and had some lovely sunshine, and the river was in full flow, this shot is looking down the old weavers cottages down from the Market place..

This is so "English" to me Danny. Love it!
Beautiful. Aloha
Gorgeous! And they can ride horses down the street! My kind of place!
So much history...and a beautifully composed image...
Fantastic!
I'm not surprised it's considered as one of the lovliest villages in the country... :) Excellent shot!
A very beautiful place you've captured here! :)
And no one had to travel thousands of miles in a covered wagon to get there or to cross uncharted oceans. So it all seems close and familiar. Except to someone who grew up where all the buildings are wood except the churches and the courthouse. The weavings are at Poliwach's or Vaughan's. My grand mother showed me how to thread a needle and sew or knit. She had a spinnning wheel in the attic. I really do believe in what I'm seeing here. I just don't know why I've never been there.
a very nice shot.
Fatnastic and spectacular photo Daniel.....!!! Great sense of depth.....!!!
Classic view of a classic place, this must be a conversation area.
