Places to stay in Bibury
The village was once described by William Morris as 'the most beautiful
village in the Cotswolds'. Bibury is situated in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds
on the River Coln 9 miles from the market town of Burford. One of the
village's main tourist spots and overlooking a water meadow and the river
is Arlington Row, a group of ancient cottages with steeply pitched roofs
dating back to the 16th Century.
The village centre clusters around a square near St. Mary's, a Saxon church.
Some of the Saxon remains inside the church are replicas as the originals
are housed in the British Museum. Away from the sightseeing crowds in
Bibury, a delightful walk through woodland and meadow rich in wildlife,
across a Roman road and past a hidden dewpond. Bibury has provided the
backdrop for blockbuster films including Stardust and Bridget Jones's
Diary.
