Monkton Combe is a small village in Bath and North East Somerset, England, lying a few miles to the south of Bath in the steep, wooded valley of the Cam Brook. The village is tucked beneath limestone slopes shaped by historic Bath stone quarrying and offers pleasant walking country that links easily to the nearby rolling countryside and the outer edges of the Cotswolds.
Its name reflects a monastic past and the village centres on a historic parish church, St Michael and All Angels, and the well‑known independent Monkton Combe School, which contribute to a strong local identity. Monkton Combe today is largely residential with many people commuting into Bath, but it also attracts walkers and visitors who come for its character, architecture and quiet village community.
