Castle Combe is a small village in Wiltshire, England, with a population of about 350. It is renowned for its attractiveness and tranquillity, and for fine buildings including the medieval church. The fourteenth century Market Cross, erected when the privilege to hold a weekly market in Castle Combe was granted, is situated where the three principal streets converge. Some small stone steps near the Cross were for horseriders to mount and dismount.
The 4-star Manor House Hotel in the village was built in the fourteenth century. It has 48 rooms and 365 acres (1.5 km²) of gardens.
Castle Combe is also the home of a popular motor racing circuit.
