The village of Combe Down has a timeless quality with a large number of Listed Georgian and Victorian houses. Hansford Square, Stonehouse Lane and the New Mulberry Park also provide great family hubs - with level gardens.
Once home to over 40 active stone mines (one of which yielded up the stone to construct Buckingham Palace) , now just one remains in use - Upper Lawn Quarry. £176 million of stabilization works has now seen the mines beneath 700 homes, filled in. A very sought-after and charming part of Southern Bath.
