Facts and practical information

Nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England, Bibury is a charming village that seems to have been plucked straight from the pages of a storybook. The village is known for its idyllic stone cottages, which are adorned with climbing roses and surrounded by lush greenery. The Arlington Row, a row of weavers' cottages dating back to the 17th century, is particularly iconic and has been the subject of countless photographs and paintings. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the River Coln, which runs through the village, and take in the peaceful atmosphere and stunning scenery.

One of Bibury's main attractions is the Bibury Trout Farm, which is the oldest working trout farm in the country. Visitors can try their hand at fishing for their own trout, or simply enjoy a peaceful walk around the grounds and learn about the process of trout farming. The farm also has a shop where visitors can purchase fresh or smoked trout to take home with them.

For those interested in history, the Church of St. Mary is a must-see. This Saxon church dates back to the 11th century and is known for its impressive Norman architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. The church is surrounded by a peaceful churchyard, making it a serene spot for quiet contemplation.
