Church Road, Combe Down
The row of five houses in the centre, Church Place, is a fairly recent arrival. To its left, down the road, is the Post Office https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1394964 which has apparently reopened recently after refurbishment.

Path through Beech Wood
Footpath BA16/3 climbs up the edge of the wood towards Combe Down. Or is it footpath BC52/7? The fact that it follows a parish boundary is perhaps why it seems to have two numbers.

A pleasant little valley, well worth the effort of a walk along the bottom beside the little stream.
