A total contrast is Charlcombe, a tiny hamlet on a minor road a mere half mile north of the Bath suburb of Fairfield Park.

Even now, you cannot help noticing the particularly deep gutters lining the road. They were installed in the 17th century, in an attempt to improve the city's water supply.

They were set back from the road, and the existing pavement and shops gave way to a pull-in for about a dozen cars; several of the mature trees were also felled.

The village is on the Scandale Beck near Ravenstonedale on the northern flanks of the Howgill Fells, in an area rich in prehistory and mercifully bypassed by the A685 road to Kirkby Stephen

We can almost feel the peace and tranquillity typified by a road deserted apart from a solitary horse-drawn delivery cart, standing near an attractive row of brick-built thatched cottages.
