  • Bibury was called that by the artist William Morris, and I reckon the prettiest buildings there are the weavers' cottages known as Arlington Row. They're now owned by the National Trust, and you can rent one to live in!

    Visited lovely Bibury last September 2015. Hired a taxi from Kemble Train Station to Bibury for 50 pounds ( returned journey ) Visited St Mary's Cathedral, there was a wedding going on there . Had lunch at The Trout Farm, and went round taking pictures . Really enjoyed my visit to Bibury, it was worth the visit.

      Pleased you enjoyed Bibury, and St Mary's church is a beautiful little building. There's been some form of church on the spot for at least 1000 years, probably longer.

    I believe Bibury is definitely one of the most beautiful town of England !! I also think Bourton on the water & Castle Comb are !! I go between those 3 back / forth !! I finally made up my mind a short awhile ago that Bourton on the water & also Salcombe of Devon are the prettiest in England !!! Dartmouth is also up there next to 'em !! Then Bibury & Castle Combe ! Amazing places !!! I am always impressed how beautifully they have been kept / taken care of !!!! Thanks for this video !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

    my dream village.
    i stay in cape town and think there is nothing compared to the charm of a real English village.
    thank you for sharing.

      In Bibury, I met a 90 yo lady who still picks apples from her orchard, and shared some with me. I returned the gift a few days later with a home-made apple crumble for her.

      NEVER go there! there are some horrible people there that will vandalize your car for being the wrong color.... an 84 year old man was forced to buy a grey car after village residents kept vandalizing his car because it was yellow because it "ruined" the sight of the village.

    • @beasto1946
      @beasto1946  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Trouble was (I heard) that he parked his banana car by the weavers' cottages, and a great many tourists reckoned it was spoiling the view for their photos. No excuses for vandalism at all, tho' his replacement metallic silver-grey Vauxhall Corsa is likely to be less of an issue. Hope so, anyway.

      A pleasure. Bibury still manages to be a charmer, despite the high visitor count.

      The English Eye
      Still reason for me to never visit a place where people do things like this, specially to a senior citizen. It's disgusting and it cost him a lot of money. Yet NONE of this was his fault.

    I hate to be negative , but I've been to Bibury, although it s really pretty ,it's a bit like a museum . Like the rest of these villages in the Cotswolds there are hardly any local people living there anymore . You hardly see any families there it's mainly rich old people from places like London who've bought into a fantasy .

    Does anyone live in those old houses anymore?

    • @beasto1946
      @beasto1946  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The National Trust owns the site, including these old houses, which sometimes come on the market for rent. Right now the NT has rentals that include (not in Bibury) a big place called 'The Aviaries.' It's got 5 beds, 3 baths, 3 reception rooms, in a woodland clearing with garden and paddocks, outbuildings and stables. Drawback is that the rent is about $2500 USD per month. Oh well.

  • @TheLacremosa

    I'm gonna do everything to live on an old fashion house, i want to have a simple plan, I'm not really rich and not really poor, and I'll do everything to own a farm, and to live on places like these. And is there any markets near this place? I'm really interested to live there.

    • @CreeperEater2002
      @CreeperEater2002 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I live only a few KM away, and yes, there are many markets close by. Cirencester Town market is only a 5 minuet drive and very good and local produce.

      Pleased you like. I'm hoping to add quite a few more to the channel this year.

    looks great. why don't they plant fruits and vegetables there instead of simple grass?

    • @davidjefferis4467
      @davidjefferis4467 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question. The big area in front is a water meadow and wildlife reserve. Waterbirds like mallards and coots visit there. The cottages have nice gardens at the back, where the tenants can grow fruit, veg, and flowers.

      I'm lucky enough to live not so far away, and have to say the Cotswolds are good to live in.

    • @davidjefferis4467

      Yes, one of many in the Cotswold area. I like Stow on the Wold, especially for its looks and galleries.

      It's a real slice of Old England, and well cared for too. A popular spot but not too crowded!

  • @beasto1946

    Two minutes or so seemed about right for Arlington Row. I'll vid another part of Bibury next time I'm there. Thanks for viewing.

    Bibury is nice but I would say there are more prettier villages in the Cotswolds

    • @beasto1946
      @beasto1946  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's was Morris's opinion, but there are so many places that I'd find it hard to nail one as 'the' prettiest!

  • @reynardbizzar5461
    @reynardbizzar5461 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There are plenty of nicer Cotswold villages than Bibury , but thankfully they are not overrun with tourists: and thankfully not broadcast on TH-cam👺

    • @davidjefferis4467
      @davidjefferis4467 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Pick your time right and avoid most other tourists. The place is perfect for TH-cam of course!

    The houses are far from beautiful. I wouldn't live there. Not for one day.

    • @davidjefferis4467

      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. But certainly a tad small by modern standards!

      Well, William Morris thought so. Personally, for day to day living, I like somewhere with a few more facilities, including a regular bus service and nearer to trains :-)
