What is the prettiest old town in England?
Castle Combe, Wiltshire Castle Combe is often called the prettiest village in England and one of the most beautiful towns in the Cotswolds. Walking through this village truly feels like stepping back in time; no new houses have been built here for over 400 years, so it has kept its authentic, old-world charm.

First up is Castle Combe which has to be my favourite of all the Cotswolds villages because of its beautiful main street! The village is teeny tiny and very quick to explore but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm and loveliness.
