Bridge and main street, Castle Combe

Castle Combe, Wiltshire view map

The double yellow lines on each side of the road took some shifting, but I reckon it was worth it!

Castle Combe is a small village in Wiltshire, England, with a population of about 350.
Ranked No. 2 in The Times's 30 best villages, it is renowned for its attractiveness and tranquillity, and for its fine buildings including the medieval church.
The 14th 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 horse riders to mount and dismount and close by are the remains of the butter cross. (Wikipedia)

I remember this view well from my visit to Castle Combe last year, Chris. A great perspective to capture the line of terraces houses from the river. When I visited there was scaffolding up at the end of the row of houses which slightly ruined the shot for me. But seeing now all clear again is a very pretty scene. Thanks for the good memories. BBV

You did a good job to remove the lines . At least I saved you the job of removing TV aerials back in the 1960's when we set up an aerial for the village at the top of the hill just for the DR Dolittle film.. Memories of the past...
