The idyllic village of Ablington neighbours the iconic Bibury, which is titled Britain's most stunning village! Being located only 1 mile away from Bibury, this village boasts much of the same country charm. It's ancient stone cottages, rolling green hills, and tranquil river that runs right through the centre make it an ideal location for a leisurely stroll.

"The name 'Ablington' is derived from the 'estate called after Eadbald' (personal name Ēadbald + ing + tūn) and is recorded as Eadbaldingtun in 855, as Ablinton between 1209-1509 and Ablyngton between 1286 and 1601."
