The village museum is open on Sundays and Bank Holidays from Easter
through to October from 2-5pm.
The museum can be found halfway up the hill, between the public car-park at the top, and
the old village at the bottom.
There is no admission fee, however the museum does rely on voluntary donations by visitors and so any contributions are most welcome.
If you have any recollections of the village in the past, or were born and bred in the area, the museum would like to hear from you. We would be interested in any stories of life in past times in the area, or even if you simply enjoyed your visit to the village or museum. You can e-mail the museum at villagemuseum@castle-combe.com.
If you would like to contribute to the upkeep of the museum, send a cheque made payable to 'Castle Combe Village Museum' to: Castle Combe Village Museum, c/o Combe Cottage, Castle Combe, Wiltshire, UK.
