Cotswold Villages.
The beautiful Cotswold villages are the vision that most people have of England and who can blame them.
With its Cotswold stone and thatched rooftops they have become the archetypal English scene.
The Cotswolds in part are still very rural and you can soon get off the beaten track by
taking a B road which lead you to lanes only passable by a single vehicle.
These are just a few of the many glorious Cotswold villages that are worth a visit, but get the map out and make up your own itinerary and enjoy our English Cotswold villages.

The Cotswold village of Bibery
Arlington Row, Bibery. A set of Medieval cottages.
William Morris said of Bibery it was "the most beautiful village in England" .Today most visitors converge
on Arlington Row.In the 17th century they were homes and workshops for weavers but three centuries earlier
they were built to store the wool.
Arlington Mill is close by and stands on the site of an old corn mill which is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
The Mill was a museum but it was sold and is now a private dwelling with all the museum pieces sold off.
The River Coln flows through the village and is clear and shallow enough to see Trout.It is also a haven for
Ducks and Swans.
