More about this scene
Castle Combe was originally the site of a Roman villa; the Normans built a castle here, and for centuries the village was a centre for cloth weaving. Nowadays, deemed the prettiest village in England, it relies on tourism for its income. Here we see the By Brook flowing placidly past the rows of exquisite cottages, with their steep stone-slated roofs and dormers. A man sits on the bank with his granddaughter enjoying the tranquillity.
