I lived in Castle Combe back in 1976. The house(s) I lived in you can see just to the right at the end of the bridge 1:11 and 6:45 the one with the peaked entrance. The house belonged to my then fiancee's parents. The house in fact consists of two houses. The stone faced house and the white house beside it. They purchased both houses and connected them. We lived there for 6 months. It was very quiet indeed. Back then, as today there were no street lights. There were two pubs in the Market Square. One for the locals and one for the tourists. The one for the locals had a parrot and a beer drinking dog. This is the village where they filmed part of the original Dr Doolittle movie. Fun fact the wall along the creek was built for the movie Dr. Doolittle and only dates from the 1960's. The only problem we used to have was when buses of tourists would visit the village. They thought that no one lived in the houses and they often just walked into the house unannounced. That was always fun.

[@MAINER4779]

Thanks for sharing that! Loved the original Dr. Doolittle & own it on VHS & DVD! Every vlog of Castle Combe I've seen shows that wall, & I truly thought it was as old as the stone houses!

[@linengray]

@@MAINER4779 The movie crew actually rebuilt the bridge as well. I watch the movie because my then fiancee's father can be seen sitting in the upstairs window during the scene they filmed along side the "river". He was so furious that he refused to move out of the window during the shooting. I also noticed that cars drive through the town. When we lived there no cars were ever allowed through the town. Since there are no street lights in town walking home from the pub was a bit tricky. Also all those "shoppes" did not exist when I lived there. We used to walk on the Manor House grounds. We had permission from the Manor House.

@@MAINER4779 The film company also rebuilt the bridge for the movie. My fiancee's father was so annoyed by the filming that sat in the upstairs window during the filming and refused to move.

It made walking home from the pub very tricky. We used to walk the Manor House grounds. We had permission from the Manor House since it was restricted in those days. There were also no "shoppes" in the town when we lived there. It was a town of older folk who just wanted to live there is peace tolerating the day tourists.

53 yearsago, I was working in Bournemouth not far from CC. I had applied for a job in the US and was almost certain to get it as so many Americans were in the military fighting the VN war and US companies were recruiting heavily in the UK. I got a letter, did not open it. I had the day off so drove to CC and had a pub lunch. I opened the letter and read it sitting outside this beautiful old pub. I emigrated six weeks later. So CC has a particular place in my life.

[@gloriahanes6490]

Michael, thank you for sharing this bit of history unknown to so many Americans, yes the Vietnam war did create a shortage of men in many positions all across America. I was still too young and still in school, but I do remember many men had signed up in 1972, but were never called up because the war was near an end.

[@gloriahanes6490]

This is not the first time America looked for able and willing men from Europe to work in America. My grandfather, Leo, at the age of 16 sent a letter to Henry Ford at the Ford Factory to work in America. He arrived from Italy knowing only a few words and $3 to his name. He promised Henry Ford in the letter never to miss one day of work and in 52 years he never missed one day of work. My grandfather was a man of his word and was a good friend of Henry Ford.

Just went to this amazing place today and a couple of things have changed as the Wadworth restaurant has closed, but the Castle Inn across the street was beautiful and had amazing food and service! The other thing that has changed is we could not get into the Manor House gates as they were closed, so you were very lucky to see it and drive through it. A lot of the shops were closed too which we had come across that you walked past as well, but the bakery goods were still out for other people to chose from and buy which Is still awesome. We also spent a lot of time in the town taking photos and in the Church and the bridge. Such a scenic ride in and out. One never to be forgotten.

Watched 13 February 2020. UK. A trip down memory lane. Visited Castle Coombe several times when I used to live in Bristol. Little known fact is Castle Coombe was used to film the original Dr Dolittle film with Rex Harrison back in the 1960s I think it was. Thanks for downloading. You seemed a lovely couple. I only wish someone had invited you into one of their homes to look around. Thanks once again. X

Really enjoyed your vid never been to Castle Combe. The Cotswolds is a lovely part of England with many picturesque villages.Your right about the houses they would be very expensive now days. Glad you enjoyed your visit. From a brit.🇬🇧

@Michael Walton Sir, Saikat is a hindu bengali name and he is a hindu. We hindus have never attacked any country , never enslaved anyone on the basis of culture, race or religion. British has looted us but we aren't taught to hate british or anyone. We believe in " Vasudhiva Kutumbakam"( its a sanskrit word) which means " The whole world is a single family. " We are spiritual , a true hindu can never ever have materialistic thoughts. Don't compare us with " Peacefuls" ( M...ms) . Rather I would say you should visit our Motherland India once and must visit our temples ( I am not telling you to embrace hinduism, never , I am requesting you to see how we live , you can get the positive vibes). England will be a great place if you deport all the " peacefuls" .

Not yet been to Castle Combe myself yet as I have no car...but it looks nice. Thanks for sharing this. Some of my favourite Oxfordshire Cotswolds villages include Minster Lovell, Asthal, Swinbrook- which are all within 10km of each other, so make for a good walk or bike ride.

[@JonAlycia]

Thanks for the comment :) We’re living in Canada again now. We’d love to go back to the UK and visit friends. Would love to see some of those villages next time. Cheers

[@DavidSmith-op8ix]

[@savahbejin7511]

Perhaps the village could install parking lots outside the village limits where people could park and board small vans/buses and be brought into town. Make it only a walking village to tourists. Of course people who live there can park at their homes or wherever. This is done on Oahu with Doris Duke’s home beside Diamond Head. It was the only way the neighborhood would allow it to open to the public. Works perfectly. Such a lovely hamlet.

[@mattjames4978]

England’s at its best in late Spring imo.

[@prp3231]

Time your journey well. The M4 has long roadworks and can cause huge traffic jams but still a better alternative to taking an expensive train. Take extra care on the narrow country lanes especially at night and expect huge problems finding a place to park your car when you get there. The weather will always be an issue so take your umbrellas. Watch out for wide vehicles on narrow country lanes.

Alycia' comment about the current value of those tiny cottages, is very relevant. Virtually every one of such places in Britain, were in effect, 'Hovells' of the poor peasants, They were--until comparative recent decades, very spartan, crudely appointed , and in need of expensive repair. BUT--because of their exquisite location, and history, they were quickly bought up by the wealthy and well -to-do. as holiday homes/ weekend homes etc . who could afford the huge costs of modernising them, even to luxury standards..

Sorry you missed the covered market square. I did glimpse it but I think it has a sign to give its history.

[@robcrebs4663]

Do you know if the smaller doors were for defense purposes or were the earlier generations just shorter than today? In many old houses, even the interior doors are lower.

[@davidhoward2487]

People were much smaller, is one reason, but over time I think the ground has dropped under the weight of the stones...Also, in castles, the stone staircase was built to be tight, and the steps went in a right spiral, so invaders would be made to use their left arm for sword fights...

[@gioiapharo7433]

B Huckaby ...... also ..... lower doors trap in more heat in the winter ....... cooler in the summer

[@JonAlycia]

That makes sense

[@copferthat]

No, people were much smaller the farther you go back in England, due to the diet etc. If you were to wake up in London in 1800 you would think you had landed in Lilliput, as the average height of men would have been around 5’ 5” and women 5’.

[@ianpodmore9666]

I used to live in a 16th century cottage, sadly in the Black Country and not the Cotswolds but the roofs were head bangingly low and the doors were a good 6 inches smaller. Average male height in the UK was about 5 foot 4 inches in the 16th century, it's 6 inches more today.
