Welcome to Combe

Combe Somerset is a small village located in the southwest of England. It is situated in the county of Somerset and is part of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and hikers. The village itself is small, with a population of around 300 people, and has a charming, traditional feel to it.

One of the main attractions of Combe Somerset is its proximity to the Cheddar Gorge. The gorge is a spectacular natural formation that is over 400 feet deep and is home to a variety of wildlife, including peregrine falcons and badgers. Visitors can explore the gorge on foot or by bike, and there are also guided tours available. The village is also close to the city of Bath, which is famous for its Roman baths and Georgian architecture.

Combe Somerset has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was once a thriving centre for the wool trade, and there are still many historic buildings in the area that reflect this heritage. Today, the village is a peaceful and picturesque place to visit, with a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities, including a village hall, a pub, and a post office.

Location what3words marble.smart.chained

Black Down Burrington Coombe
Slight Walk Up To The Top Of The Hill But The Views Are Stunning From The Top. If You Take The Left Path Once Up The Top, You Can Walk Down To Cheddar Gorge Or You Can Take The Right Path And Walk Down Into The Woods To Rowberrow Warren And Dolebury Warren. Livestock On Route And Can Get Very Muddy In The Winter Due To The Horses And Cows Churning Up The Mud Making It Very Hard To Walk Up The Hill. Lovely Walk During The Summer. We Often Spend All Day Walking There And My Two Cockers Love It! Burrington Combe Blagdon 4.45 miles Once You Enter Burrington Coombe, You’Ll See A Lay-By Further Down Beneath Burrington Ham. Park Up In The Lay-By And Cross The Road. Follow The Road Up And You’Ll See A Sign Saying Black Down On Your Right. Walk Down Past The Driveway And Make Your Way Up To The Top!
