Gloucestershire, England
The village of Bibury is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to the Cotswolds. The village sits astride the peaceful River Coln, with a medieval bridge joining attractive cottages on both banks. On one side of the bridge is the ivy-clad Swan Inn, while nearby is a popular fish hatchery. A short stroll from the bridge is probably the most photographed view in the Cotswolds; a row of medieval almshouses made of golden-toned stone, known as Arlington Row. Arts and Crafts pioneer William Morris called Bibury "the most beautiful village in England", and many visitors will agree.
