About

Combe Down is a residential area situated on a limestone plateau south of Bath city centre. The neighbourhood is characterised by Georgian and Victorian architecture, with many homes constructed from the distinctive local stone. Its elevated position provides views across the surrounding valleys.

The area's history is deeply connected to the stone quarries that supplied material for much of Bath's development. An extensive network of abandoned mine workings lies beneath the surface, leading to a major stabilisation project in the 2000s to ensure the ground's safety.
