The Village of Castle Combe

Castle Combe has been called 'The Prettiest Village in England' and with good reason. Visitors have been coming to enjoy its charms for at least a century, and the small street leading from the Market Cross down to the By Brook is a picturesque today as is ever was.

The village houses are all of typical Cotswold type, constructed in stone with thick walls and roofs made from split natural stone tiles. The properties are many hundreds of years old and are listed as ancient monuments. Strict rules apply to preserve the beauty and character of Castle Combe for later generations to admire.

Castle Combe is situated on the southern-most edge of the Cotswolds and is approximately 12 miles from the Georgian city of Bath. Nearby there are many sites of historical interest such as Avebury, Stonehenge and the Wiltshire White Horses.

This is the second time our group has been visited by Christopher Lee. On our 1999 trip he joined us during our visit behing the scenes of the Odeon Leicester Square Theater, the traditional home of London film premiers.

This was the final event of the BIB2006 tour. Our special guest that night was film producer Euan Lloyd and his wife.

Frequented by politicians and lawyers, the Reform Club is a private club which boasts a stunning interior inspired by the Victorian era. Prospective members will only be accepted if they are recommended by an existing member. The waiting list is approximately a year long and a joining and annual fee applies. Members have the privilege of using the billiards room and dining in their exquisite restaurant.

The Reform Club is probably the most exclusive in London. It can be compared to the Player's Club in New York.

The fencing scene in Die Another Day was filmed inside this club.

Our hotel, the Henry VIII, was just two blocks from the north sise of the park.
