Combe was a village that lay in a deep valley east of Staddle (which was on the eastern side of Bree-hill opposite of Bree).[1] The village took its name from its location: combe is an old word for a valley, and the same element appears in 'Deeping-coomb', a valley in the White Mountains far to the south of the Bree-land.
Etymology
Old English cumb means "hollow, valley", cognate to Welsh cwm.
