==Village street== [[File:Pack o Cards Combe Martin.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Pack o' Cards]] is located on the village street.]] It is believed that the street is the longest village street in England, but this is actually a myth. It was recently measured at around a mile and a half long. The actual longest street is [[Stewkley]], Buckinghamshire. The myth has several possible origins: * Combe Martin has the [[Guinness world record]] for the world's longest street party; this can easily be confused as longest village street (or, indeed, the longest high street). * Many people measure Combe Martin from one "you are entering Combe Martin" sign to the other. One of the signs is placed an unusually long way from the village (approx 1 mile and one half) which can lead to confusion. * Combe Martin has several very active pubs. There is a saying in Combe Martin that "At the George and Dragon they talk about my sprained thumb, at the Dolphin they talk about my broken leg."
