For a tranquil and stunningly beautiful UK destination - consider visiting the quintessential English village of Bibury. Located in Gloucestershire, England, Bibury is celebrated for its idyllic stone cottages along the River Coln, which captivated Victorian poet William Morris and inspired him to describe it as "the most beautiful place in England" due to its picturesque honey-coloured homes and serene countryside setting.
Bibury's beauty has also influenced various British paintings, with Arlington Row being the most notable location, featuring historic cottages along the river and winding street, often adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The village has received recognition from numerous publications, including being named one of the UK's "prettiest" villages by CN Traveler, which praised its National Trust-protected Arlington Row and 14th-century cottages. Country Living also considers it one of Britain's most "romantic" spots, noting that its honey-hued landscape exudes romance throughout the year, reports the Express.
Visitors can enjoy Bibury's peaceful atmosphere and explore its various attractions, making it an ideal destination for a charming winter experience, including Britain's oldest trout farm where they can feed fish and purchase fresh produce from the local farm shop, quaint tearooms, and traditional pubs like the centuries-old The Swan by the river, being the most famous.
