A feature of this part of the Cotswolds is the combe, or coombe, a shallow valley. In these the Cotswold stone and other buildings can take shelter from the climate, aided by some trees either naturally growing or planted. It can be bitterly cold in the more isolated parts here - in one year there was lying snow near Sevenhampton when it had disappeared from Cheltenham some weeks before. Time taken photo 3.46 pm BST (British Summer Time).
