| CROSCOMBE & SURROUNDINGS
Croscombe is a thriving village of around 620 residents, with an interesting Church, a medieval hall now owned by the Landmark Trust, a 15th century pub “The Bull Terrier” & the 17th century “George Inn”. Both pubs serve good food and are just a couple of minutes walk away.
Close by is the well-stocked Croscombe Village Stores (buy your scrumpy cider and Cheddar cheese here!).
Many regular events take place at the Village Hall such as the quarterly Village Charter Market, Croscombe Society evenings, Moviola film screenings, etc. and an annual Funday and Village Show in July - visitors are always made most welcome.
In the field next to the Hall is a superbly equipped children's play area.
