Angry locals living in West Country's most picturesque village slam 'inconsiderate tourists' and drones

Angry locals living in the West Country's most picturesque village have slammed 'inconsiderate tourists' and the constant use of drones. Castle Combe, which is 30 minutes from Bristol, boasts scenic walking routes and quaint old streets, untouched by time.

The picturesque village is popular with tourists and has been used as a filming location for blockbusters such as Stephen Spielberg's War Horse. Every year, tourists flock to the popular location in their thousands, leaving residents telling many to get off their land, reports Gloucestershire Live.

According to residents, the number of people who live in the Wiltshire village full-time has fallen in recent years. Houses that go up for sale are snapped up and used as second homes or Airbnbs.
