Several English towns have names that end in "combe," which is derived from the Old English word for a small valley or hollow. Notable examples include Combe Martin in Devon, Combe St. Nicholas in Somerset, and Wotton-under-Edge, which has a nearby area called Coombe. Other towns with "combe" in their names can be found throughout the West Country, particularly in Devon and Somerset.
"Combe" at the end of a town's name typically refers to a deep, narrow valley or hollow surrounded by hills or mountains. It is a common suffix in English place names that originated from the Old English word "cumb," meaning a small, narrow valley.
