Bibury sits in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, tucked into a shallow valley through which the River Coln runs. The village is famous for its honey‑coloured limestone cottages and the postcard‑perfect Arlington Row, a row of former weavers’ buildings that rise beside the river and are cared for as part of the area’s historic fabric.
Historically linked to the medieval wool trade, the parish retains a very small local population and an economy that now leans on tourism, traditional agriculture and trout farming on the clear coln waters. It’s a conservation‑minded community: listed buildings, National Trust stewardship and AONB protections help preserve the character, while the influx of visitors shapes everyday village life.
