Bibury

William Morris, a leader of the famous British Arts and Crafts Movement, internationally renowned furniture, wallpaper pattern, and textile designer, as well as a painter, called Bibury "the most beautiful village in England." Nestled in the valley of the River Coln, the town boasts a splendid Saxon-era church and numerous historic sites. Its naturally elegant charm attracts numerous visitors from both home and abroad. It also represents the thriving wool industry of the Cotswolds region and epitomizes the quaint, poetic charm of old England.

One of the must-see attractions in Bibury is Arlington Row: the rustic, 14th-century Arlington Row cottages are also one of the iconic architectural symbols of the Cotswolds. Surrounded by lush green grass and thick trees, a lively little river runs through the town, with the most picturesque scenery lining the riverbanks. The unique Arlington Row is a historic site in England: originally built as storage sheds for wool, they were later converted into workshops and residences for weavers. Today, the cottages are owned by the National Trust, and users must rent them from the trust.

William Morris's manor is located near Bibury. Among his many famous designs is one that symbolizes the graceful willows by the River Coln. This quaint little town, with its naturally stunning beauty, has become a top choice for couples to take wedding photos on their big day, as well as a paradise for photography enthusiasts. The rainbow trout farm by the river in town is also very famous. With its idyllic countryside scenery and verdant ancient town, it attracts many families to come here for fishing.

Bibury’s fame also led the Shanghai International Art Channel to visit the town in 2012 and produce a feature documentary showcasing its delightful landscapes, including the touching romantic story of the celebrity William Morris.
