Bibury

Arlington Row, a lane of honey-stone cottages that began as a monastic wool store in the 14th century and became weavers' homes in the 17th, is the village's famous sight and is cared for by the National Trust.

Bibury Trout Farm, which says it was established in 1902, lets you feed the trout in its ponds, catch your own at weekends and in school holidays, or buy fresh fish from its shop.

The River Coln runs through the village beside Rack Isle, a water-meadow nature reserve that gives a classic view back across to Arlington Row.
