The West Country is filled with stunning villages and towns, from seaside locations in Cornwall to quaint hamlets in the Cotswolds. But now Castle Combe, which is an hour 30 minutes from Bristol, has been named in the top 10 most beautiful places in the country.
It is up there with the likes of Cambridge, Edinburgh and Dorset's Durdle Door. Global travel site Big 7 Travel has released its annual listing of the 50 Most Beautiful Places in the UK placing the Cotswolds village on the list, reports Gloucestershire Live.
And there was another place, again not too far from Bristol which featured on the list. Tintern Abbey, on the Gloucestershire-Monmouthshire border and on the banks of the River Rye was placed at 29 on the list.
