Bibury’s story goes back over a millennium, from Saxon gift to anime stardom, yet it remains the quintessential English village. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll uncover how time and generations of Biburians have shaped one of the Cotswolds’ most photographed destinations, and how some are said to still haunt the village.

The tour starts at Bibury Trout Farm, where natural springs have sustained life since Roman times. You’ll wind through the neighbouring settlements of Bibury and Arlington to explore the history and legends of this charming village. We’ll meet famous visitors and residents, explore the buildings, stories, and scandals, and hear how Biburians have lived, worked, and played over the centuries.

Along the way, from Roman factory to Georgian grandeur, you’ll see how each building tells part of an ongoing story, helping you understand why this village continues to capture imaginations while maintaining its authentic character as a living community.
