Combe

The isolated hamlet of Combe is overlooked by Walbury Hill, which at 974 feet is the highest point in Berkshire and the highest chalk hill in England. A popular place for walking and hang-gliding, the hill offers terrific views and the bonus of an Iron Age fort on its summit. Close to the hill stands Combe Gibbet, one of the last public hanging places in the country. This gibbet was first used in 1676 to hang a pair of adulterous murderers, George Broomham and Dorothy Newman, and has a crossbar with a ‘his’ side and a ‘hers’ side.
