WHAT DOES COMBE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Combe

A combe can either refer to a steep, narrow valley, or to a small valley or large hollow on the side of a hill; in any case, it is often understood simply to mean a small valley through which a watercourse does not run. The word "combe" is derived from Old English cumb, of the same meaning, and is unrelated to the homophonous English "comb". It derives ultimately from the same Brythonic source as Welsh cwm, also of the same meaning. Today the word is used mostly in reference to the combes of southern and southwestern England, of Wales, and of County Kerry in Ireland.
