To get to Castle Combe, you can take a 1 hour 10 minute train from London Paddington to Chippenham. The train comes every 30 minutes or so, and you can book tickets in advance on trainline.com, either for a specified train or day. From there, it's about a 15 minute cab ride (£15-£20) to Castle Combe. There is a taxi stand at the Chippenham train station, or the hotel can arrange a taxi for you. We got there easily with no car ourself, and will be arriving by public transport for the wedding as well (unless someone wants to give us a ride...) Alternatively, Castle Combe is about a 2.5 hour drive from central London or about 1.5 hour drive from Heathrow.
Your guess is as good as ours! The weather in early October (or anytime, really) in England is very unpredictable, but it shouldn't be too chilly yet. Bring an umbrella, and check the weather up until the very minute you leave if you want to be best prepared.
Henry and Rachel will be staying at the Manor House from Friday the 29th through the 2nd. We don’t have anything planned for the 29th but if you plan to stay that day, please let us know!
This is a small gathering only of our immediate family and closest friends.
Yes! But only if you visit them in London. They will be happy to receive you at their flat!
