I had been wanting for a long time visit the Cotswolds because the rural atmosphere that the images I had had the opportunity to see conveyed caught my attention.

Therefore, I planned to finish my trip to north wales from a couple of summers ago.

The Cotswolds is a region that extends across the south-west of England, north of Oxford, which is characterized by landscapes that combine hills and leafy valleys with rivers.

But the most characteristic of the Cotswolds are its charming towns of the deepest rural england. and between them Bibury It has an earned reputation for being one of the most beautiful.

What's more, of Bibury it has been said that it is the most beautiful town in england. It's difficult to say, but I can assure you that she has a very special charm.

When you go to visit Bibury during a Cotswolds driving routeDon't expect a big town. On the contrary, I would tell you that it is almost a village whose houses extend along two roads that run along the banks of the coln river.

This is the experience of visiting Bibury

Park your car where you can and get ready to start a pleasant walk.

In Bibury you have one of the best examples of typical Cotswolds rural architecture.

You will not find half-timbered houses, as in Chester, Canterbury or many other places in Great Britain. Nor the characteristic houses with almost black stones of North Wales.

All Bibury houses They have great uniformity. Built with cream-colored stone, even close to gold, and with slate roofs.

Even the manor houses show great sobriety, but the architectural ensemble, combined with the lush vegetation that surrounds them, as well as their flowered gardens, is ideal for enjoying a pleasant walk.

In Bibury don't expect to see castles or grand churches, just charming country houses.

Of course, in a town that must receive many visitors (when I went there were practically no tourists) even from Japanese tourists because, as a curiosity, some warning signs are displayed in English…and Japanese.
