The pub that the locals go to. On a summer evening there may well be boules going on on the piste. Food can be a bit pricey but a safe bet. Occasional music/live acts. Food specials during the week.

The other side of Castle Combe. Privately owned by the de Blanquet family (as in blankets) until the 1950's this is an almost untouched Cotswold wool village.

Larkrise to Candleford and many more were filmed here. Owned by the National Trust you will step back in time. Also some lovely little shops such as Watlings Jewellers hidden away.

New place and strong early history of the Bristol Aircraft Company. Later history a bit diluted then there is Concorde - and you can have a wander through! Also near Cribbs Causeway (shopping) if it helps sell the idea of a visit...
