Bibury: Guide

Bibury, a small village in Gloucestershire, England, is a typical and picturesque Cotswolds|Cotswold village.

The Arts and Crafts movement|artist and craftsman William Morris called Bibury "the most beautiful village in England" at the sight of the village's charm. Its honey-coloured 17th-century stone cottages with steep pitched roofs once provided housing for weaving|weavers who supplied cloth for fulling at nearby Arlington Mill. The mill now houses a folk and agricultural museum, containing a room dedicated to Morris.

The River Coln flows through the village, alongside the main street.

Bibury attractions include a trout farm (1902) where some 10 million rainbow trout are spawned yearly. The trout can be sampled at the Catherine Wheel, a small inn and pub.
