'''Combs''' is a small village in [[Derbyshire]], England, in the civil parish of [[Chapel-en-le-Frith]] and the [[Peak District National Park]].
The village is bounded to the east, west and south by [[gritstone]] edges and [[moorland]], the highest of which is Black Edge ({{convert|507|m|abbr=on}}). To the north the embankment of the [[Buxton Line|Buxton to Stockport railway]] separates it from Combs Reservoir. To the east is Castle Naze, a prehistoric settlement site.
The village has a [[pub]], the Beehive Inn,<ref name="beehive">{{cite web |url=http://thebeehiveinn.co.uk/ |title=Home page |first= |last= |publisher=The Beehive Inn |date= |accessdate=24 January 2021}}</ref> and [[infant school]].<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/112525 | title = Combs Infant School | publisher = [[Ofsted]] | accessdate = 4 October 2012}}</ref><ref>[http://www.combsschool.ik.org/ School Official Website] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20040520215248/http://www.combsschool.ik.org/ |date=2004-05-20 }}</ref>
Combs resident [[Herbert Frood]] developed a vehicle brake pad and in 1897 founded the company [[Ferodo]]. The village was also home to journalists and authors [[Crichton Porteous]] and Peggy Bellhouse.
