Why Bibury matters

Bibury is a Cotswold postcard come to life: a trickle of the River Coln, a row of stone weavers' cottages and a mill converted to a trout farm. It is a short stop rather than a full day, best at early morning or late evening before the coach groups arrive. Combine it with nearby villages and walks to see the Cotswolds at their gentlest.

Talking points

  • Arlington Row is one of the most photographed lanes in England.
  • Buildings are built from local honey-coloured limestone.
  • Visit early or late to avoid tour groups.
  • A footpath through nearby meadows gives quiet views.
