Camel Cottage - High Street - Compton Chamberlayne, Wiltshire - Thatch Cottages on Waymarking.com

Camel Cottage, a 17th century thatched cottage in Compton Chamberlayne. The name possibly comes from the distinctive shape of the roof. A bit difficult to photograph, as the hedges only just planted in the Google street view images have certainly grown well.
