Arlington is a tiny, picture-postcard hamlet tucked into the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England, best known for the iconic stone cottages of Arlington Row beside the River Coln. The row began life as a medieval wool store and was converted to weavers' cottages in the 17th century; its honey-coloured limestone, steep roofs and tranquil valley setting make it one of the most photographed scenes in the area and a frequent subject of conservation interest.
Today the local economy is largely rural and tourism-led, with small farming communities, footpaths for walkers and nearby market towns providing services; the hamlet’s historic charm draws visitors but the settlement itself remains quiet and residential, prized for its sense of continuity with the Cotswold past. Nearby Bibury and other local villages offer additional amenities, while conservation bodies keep a tight focus on preserving the character that makes Arlington so distinctive.
