Summary
NoS Summary - A look at the Castle Combe, Wiltshire, claimed by the British Travel Association to be the prettiest village in England.
Researcher Comments
Commentary: Where is the prettiest village in England? With so many claimants the British Travel Association had a headache trying to find the answer. In the end, the decision went to Castle Combe, the pride of Wiltshire. Here, a stream winds through a cluster of lovely buildings; under a bridge sport ducks and geese; here is everything which makes a typical village, where time practically stands still.
