Visit Bibury
Visit Bibury, which the artist and craftsman William Morris called "the most beautiful village in England". Its honey-coloured 17th-century stone cottages with steep pitched roofs once provided housing for weavers who supplied cloth at nearby Arlington Mill. The mill now houses a folk and agricultural museum, containing a room dedicated to Morris.
The area is actually made up of two villages, Arlington on one side of the River Coln and Bibury on the other. It is one of the "must see" destinations in the Cotswolds, and has a place on the itinerary of most tourists. The River Coln flows through the village, alongside the main street. It makes one of the most picturesque scenes you will find in the Cotswolds.
Accommodation in Bibury includes The Swan Hotel, an enchanting 17th century former coaching inn sitting in the heart of the village on the banks of the River Coln.
Visit Bibury, as it's attractions include a trout farm where some 10 million rainbow trout are spawned yearly. The trout can be sampled at the Catherine Wheel, a small inn and pub. Other attractions are Arlington Row, a row of weavers cottages built of local stone next to the River Coln, Arlington Mill and the Saxon Church, the Church of St Mary. The north Chancel wall of the Church is home to a stained glass window which was designed in 1927 by Karl Parsons and was featured in the 1992 Christmas stamp set issued by the Royal Mail.
