Bibury

Bibury

Bibury - “the most beautiful village in England” On arriving into Bibury you may think you have been transported back to a different age. The village was once described by the British poet, artist and novelist William Morris (1834-96) as “the most beautiful village in England”. Bibury’s attractions includes Arlington Row, a 17th century row of weavers cottages built of local stone next to the River Coln. It is one of the most photographed areas in the region and was chosen as a location for the 2007 film ‘Stardust’. Close by you will find the Bibury Trout Farm and a Saxon Church. The River Coln flows between the main village street and a watermeadow: together with Alrington Row as a backdrop, it makes one of the most picuresque scenes you will find in the Cotswolds.

Arlington Row

Awkward Hill, , Bibury, GL7 5NJ

It’s easy to see why William Morris called Bibury ‘The most beautiful village in England’ – wonderful stone buildings strung out along the banks of the River Coln.

Burford

Bourton-on-the-Water

Bourton-on-the-Water

Regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in England, Bourton-on -the-Water has a unique appeal to visitors and residents alike.
Known as the Venice of the Cotswolds, this one village offers a wealth of attractions and shops, restaurants and tea rooms, or simply the space for you to enjoy some tranquil time by the River Windrush, spanned by its five arched bridges.
Bourton-on-the-Water’s most prized feature is its tranquil river. Fed from many springs, its source is approximately ten miles from the village, and even in the 1976 drought the flow continued.
Where the river enters the village centre, over the rapids next to the Old Mill, its clear waters flow under a miscellany of arched stone bridges past the green with its banks of Cotswold stone.

Wonderful Day in Cotswold

We had a lovely day touring the Cotwolds with Leslie and Michel. The smaller group allowed us to travel unique roads and see the English countryside just like you see in a Kincaid painting. I highly recommend this tour when visiting London.

Fairy tale world of the Cotswolds

Such a great time stepping away from the city and visiting the Cotswolds. These small villages are like going into a fairy tale and it’s hard to believe there are still cute little towns like this anywhere in the world. Chrissy was an awesome guide and gave us all the details we needed, with plenty of time to just relax and take it all in. Greg was also an awesome driver.
