I lived near a village called Downham, it's a beautiful little place very similar to this, there are no visible telephone poles or street lamps (other than a few) etc as they want to keep it as traditional as possible if that's the best way to put it
It's a fairytale fucking town, isn't it? How can a fairytale town not be somebody's fucking thing? How can all those canals and bridges and cobbled streets and those churches, all that beautiful fucking fairytale stuff, how can that not be somebody's fucking thing, eh?
Yeah theres a few villages like this around the UK. This village 'Castle Combe' is very pretty and there a fair few others in the area known as The Cotswolds
The wider area of that part of the UK is called The West Country and if you're a fan of cozy places the West Country has you more than covered
Only some of the Cotswolds is in the West Country (the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire bits). The rest is in the West Midlands (Warwickshire/Worcestershire) and the Home Counties (Oxfordshire). They all have an abundance of cosy and pretty villages, albeit perhaps as iconically idyllic as the Cotswolds!
Yes and no. There are residents but make no mistake - this whole village is a tourist attraction. It’s tiny and there is a big car park at the top of the hill next to it that coach loads of people arrive to every day. If you arrive there early on a quiet weekday you might have a chance to get a shot like this - but most of the time it’s over run with tourists.
Yes! I spent the summer in a cottage in the area (The Cotswods), one of the best vacations my family has ever taken. Picture perfect villages, amazing walks and wonderful people. Missing it right about now.
My grannie and Grampa's house was on the village green in Biddestone, the house just next to the big one. I spent every holiday there as a child and it was magical. The Grn

Do people really live in places like this?!
Looks straight out of a fairytale
