Combs is a small village in Derbyshire, in the civil parish of Chapel-en-le-Frith and the Peak District National Park.
The village is bounded to the east, west and south by gritstone edges and moorland, the highest of which is Black Edge (1,663 feet). To the north the embankment of the Buxton to Stockport railway separates it from Combs Reservoir. To the east is Castle Naze, a prehistoric settlement site.
The village has a pub, the Beehive Inn, and infant school.
Old Brook House and its barn, close to the Beehive public house, is a listed building.[1][2] Parts of it date from the 17th and 18th centuries, as does Marsh Hall closer to Chapel-en-le-Frith.
