Castle Combe, Wiltshire

As soon as you enter Castle Combe, you feel as though you have been transported back in time or into a book. Castle Combe is ranked as one of the best villages in the Cotswolds and is overflowing with charm thanks to its immaculately preserved houses built of honey-colored Cotswold stone and its winding lanes dotted with new blossoms.

This old village is full of beauty at every corner. There is never a lack of beautiful things to take pictures of, from the historic water pump in the town center hidden under blooming flowers to the stone market cross and the renowned walls of St. Andrew's Church. The famous medieval Castle Combe Clock is also located inside the church. In this picture-perfect setting, don't expect to come across big-box stores, billboards, or tourist attractions. Its beauty mostly comes from the absence of obvious commercialism, making it one of the best small towns in England. Be sure to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, or baked products from the makeshift markets put up outside people's houses while you stroll around this tiny paradise. Don't forget to eat at one of the town's eateries as well.
