It is another of the Cotswolds towns famous for its unique charm. In fact, Castle Combe was selected by Times magazine as one of the top 30 towns in the world. Its beauty has made it the scene of numerous films.

Castle Combe is one of the essential places that you must know if you travel to the Costwolds. You will fall in love with its beautiful medieval church, its honey-colored stone houses and its peaceful atmosphere. A village of just 300 inhabitants as small as it is unique.

3. Lacock

This beautiful town is just 15 minutes from Castle Combe. Almost as beautiful as it, its old cobbled streets and beautiful houses are ideal elements of an extraordinary and unforgettable walk to get to know this magnificent town and, incidentally, taste its traditional cuisine.

Get lost in the streets of Lacock, they sure sound familiar! Yes, because it is also a very “cinematic” town, in fact, scenes from the Harry Potter saga were filmed in its abbey. He also appears in period films such as Pride and Prejudice or Enma.

5. Upper Slaughter

It’s about half an hour from Chipping Campden. Among its old constructions, its beautiful Norman church of St. Peters stands out, of an authentic story, like its streets, which you can walk in just one hour. This town is also known for the bravery of its soldiers during the two world wars.

6. Broadway

Broadway may not have the beauty and charm of other towns in the region. However, it is on this list because it is regarded as the gateway to The Cotswolds. Like other towns in the region, their houses are made of honey-colored stone, and many have been transformed into small shops and very good cafes.

But if there is something that stands out, it is the Broadway tower, an architectural whim built at the end of the 18th century. A kind of fortress with three towers and hexagonal silver built on a high hill.
