Overview

Behind Bibury’s picturesque stone cottages are hidden histories and fascinating tales waiting to be told. On this self-guided audio tour through the village’s ancient streets, you’ll find traces of the Celtic tribes, Roman settlers, medieval weavers, and even Japanese royalty who have left their mark. Starting and ending in the car park near Bibury Trout Farm, you’ll make your way through the village. You’ll wander past iconic landmarks like Arlington Row – the weavers’ cottages from the 1300s that Henry Ford tried (and failed) to relocate to America. You’ll see St Mary’s Church with its Norman architecture and mysterious sundials, and learn why Emperor Hirohito called his visit to this village “one of the happiest periods” of his life. Along the way, you’ll hear stories passed down through generations.

Activity itinerary

Bibury Trout Farm (Pass by)

Walk past one of England's oldest working trout farms, sitting alongside the crystal-clear waters of the River Coln. This is where the tour begins and ends, setting the scene for a village shaped by water, wildlife, and centuries of rural life.

The Swan Hotel, Bibury (Pass by)

Stroll past this ivy-clad coaching inn, one of the most photographed buildings in a village full of photogenic corners. Dating back to the 17th century, it has welcomed travellers to Bibury for generations and remains a landmark at the heart of the village.

St. Mary's Church (Pass by)

Marvel at this ancient Norman church, one of the oldest and most beautiful in the Cotswolds, with its distinctive stonework and mysterious sundials. It has stood watch over this valley since Saxon times, long before the village took its present shape.

BiburyCricketGround (Pass by)

Enjoy a moment at one of England's most scenic cricket grounds, tucked into the Coln Valley with the Cotswold hills rolling behind it. It captures the unhurried character of village life that has drawn visitors to Bibury from around the world.

The Catherine Wheel (Pass by)

Pass this centuries-old pub, built in the 1400s using timber beams salvaged from old sailing ships. It is one of the quieter gems on the route and a reminder that Bibury's history reaches far beyond its famous stone cottages.

Arlington Row (Pass by)

Stand before this iconic stretch of weavers' cottages, first built in the 1300s and now one of the most recognised streetscapes in England. So beloved is Arlington Row that it appears in British passports, and Henry Ford once tried, unsuccessfully, to have the entire row shipped to America.

Bibury Village Baptist Church (Pass by)

Walk past this modest but charming chapel, a quiet counterpoint to the grandeur of St Mary's Church nearby. It reflects the layered religious and community life that has shaped this small village across the centuries.

Bibury Post Office (Pass by)

Stroll past this characterful Cotswold stone building, a working post office that has served the village community for generations. Small details like this bring the everyday life of Bibury into focus alongside its grander historical landmarks.

Bibury Post Office (Pass by)

Stroll past this characterful Cotswold stone building, a working post office that has served the village community for generations. Small details like this bring the everyday life of Bibury into focus alongside its grander historical landmarks.

Sundial Cottage (Pass by)

Marvel at this beautifully preserved cottage, whose name hints at the sundial traditions that appear elsewhere in the village, including on the walls of St Mary's Church. It is a fine example of the Cotswold vernacular architecture that makes Bibury so visually distinctive.

Sackville House (Pass by)

Pass this handsome historic property, one of several private homes along the route that speak to Bibury's long history of prosperous rural settlement. Its stonework and setting are typical of the craftsmanship that has made this village a benchmark of English rural beauty.

The Bothy (Pass by)

Walk past this traditional stone outbuilding, a type of simple worker's shelter once common across rural England. It adds texture to the storey of the people who lived and worked in Bibury long before it became one of the Cotswolds' most visited destinations.
