Shame you can’t actually go inside !

You feel like you've been transported back a few centuries and are reminded of Little Lord Fauntleroy...

The gargoyles outside. Bullet holes in the wall outside. Twin stone coffins inside. Worth taking your time here.

pretty impressive neolithic burial mound

Very popular with tourists. In particular those from Japan as apparently Emperor Hirihito once stayed in Bibury as he conducted his European tour.

"Bibury is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It is on the River Coln, a Thames tributary that rises in the same (Cotswold) District. The village centre is 6+1⁄2 miles (10.5 kilometres) northeast of Cirencester. Arlington Row is a nationally notable architectural conservation area depicted on the inside cover of some British passports. It is a major destination for tourists visiting the traditional rural villages, tea houses and many historic buildings of the Cotswold District; it is one of six places in the country featured in Mini-Europe, Brussels. In the Domesday Book (1086), a record of survey done under William the Conqueror, the place is named Becheberie, and it is recorded that the lands and church in Bibury were held by St. Mary's Priory at Worcester, from whom it passed in 1130 to the Abbey of Osney, near Oxford: the Abbey continued to hold it until its dissolution in 1540."

The views from the top of the hill on the approach to the Long Barrow are well worth the calf and thigh burning walk up the steep path. Magnificent landscape.

So much history and such a beautiful church. Thank you Sasha Taylor for taking the time to share it with us.
