Britain's tiniest villages with disproportionate fame
Hamlets that punch above their weight.
Some of Britain's most-visited villages have populations under 1,000: Goathland (population 438, but TV-famous as Aidensfield in Heartbeat and the Hogwarts setting for several films), Castle Combe (350), Bourton-on-the-Water (3,300 but somehow always small), Tobermory on Mull (700), and the tied cottages of Polperro in Cornwall. A grand tour takes a week.
