A guide to Castle Combe 🌿

Often rated as the “prettiest village in England,” Castle Combe is a delightful destination in the Cotswolds. 

Here’s a weekend guide to help you make the most of your visit:
 * Explore Castle Combe Village 
 * Wander through the charming streets and admire the historic buildings that haven’t changed since the 15th century.
 * Visit the medieval Market Cross, which sits at the heart of the village. It’s a reminder of when Castle Combe was granted the right to hold a weekly market in 1440.
 * Take a 60-minute Step Back in Time village tour with a costumed guide to learn more about the village’s history
 * The Manor House Hotel was once a manor house built in the valley below the castle ruins. It’s now a beautiful hotel and a luxurious escape for a weekend.
 * Motorsport enthusiasts can visit the Castle Combe Circuit, the South West’s premier racing venue. Enjoy race meetings, car shows, and driving experiences.
 * Take a leisurely stroll along the By Brook, which flows through the village. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and picturesque views.
 * Visit lovely St Andrew’s Church, known for its medieval architecture and serene atmosphere.
 * Cotswold Water Park - If you have extra time, explore the nearby Cotswold Water Park, which offers lakes, walking trails, and water-based fun!

Enjoy exploring and remember to savour the tranquility and charm of this beautiful Cotswolds gem! #CountryCreatures

Last month we welcomed @chefcalum to our @doubleredduke for the first of our 2024 #CountryCreaturesChefSeries 

The Pie King did not disappoint! Delivering on his promise of giant Beef Wellingtons, which delighted our Duke guests and impressed our chefs! 

Thank you to Calum and everyone who joined us! More brilliant guest chefs coming soon… #DoubleRedDuke
