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 Cotswolds is home to some fine churches, and Bibury is no exception. The first church in Bibury was established in 899 and the Grade I listed Anglo-Saxon church which stands today was built in the middle to late 11th century with further work in subsequent centuries. Bibury is best known for Arlington Row and the Bibury Trout Farm, but make sure you wander down the river, past the almshouses, and make your way to the oldest part where you will find the Church. This lovely church, away from the honeypot of Arlington Row, can feel like an oasis of calm where you can take in Norman doorway arches, a 13th century font, Saxon chancel columns, capitals and gravestones, 17th-century table tombs a 15th-century roof and 18th-century wall monuments."

Lovely village, but so overrun with tourists. The walk along the river along the fields is nice and a bit more quiet.

The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead: therefore the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Bourton-on-the-Water as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. In January 1920, residents of Bourton-on-the-Water decided at a public meeting to create a memorial to the 27 members of the local community who had died. Having visited the memorials at Ampney Crucis and Saintsbury, the War Memorial Committee members chose the design and set about fundraising. The war memorial was unveiled by Major-General Sir HB Walker and dedicated by Reverend Canon WE White at a well-attended ecumenical ceremony on 7 December 1920. Following the Second World War the names of 12 men who died in that conflict were added. Details First World War memorial, 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. Bourton-on-the-Water War Memorial is located on the green beside the River Windrush, at the junction of High Street and Sherborne Street and in close proximity to a number of Grade II-listed structures. The tall stone memorial takes the form of a Latin cross rising from a moulded collar on a tapering octagonal shaft. That stands on an octagonal plinth. The foot of the cross shaft is decorated with carvings in low relief. The plinth stands on a four-stepped base, square on plan. The memorial stands in a square kerbed and gated enclosure, with a surrounding chain suspended on low stone posts. The plinth is clad with metal plaques which bear the names of the fallen from both the First and also the Second World War. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front (north-east) face of the plinth reads 1914 1918/ 1939 1945/ TO THOSE OF THIS VILLAGE/ WHO MADE THE SACRIFICE/ FOR PEACE/ SONS OF THIS PLACE LET/ THIS OF YOU BE SAID,/ THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE/ WORTHY OF THE DEAD./ THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT/ YOU WHO LIVE MAY REAP/ A RICHER HARVEST ERE/ YOU FALL ASLEEP. A wreath is depicted on the plaque between the start and end dates of each conflict.

Wildlife Greystones Farm is home to Salmonsbury Meadows Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). These ancient meadows are home to an incredible diversity of wildflowers and provide a habitat for many insects, butterflies, birds and mammals. In the spring and summer you will see great burnet, southern marsh orchids, early marsh orchids, ragged robin, devil’s-bit scabious, meadowsweet, knapweed and yellow rattle. These flowers support butterflies including orange-tip, meadowbrown, brimstone, small copper and ringlet. Greystones Farm are also working to restore the hay meadows which were damaged from the 1940s onwards, with the aim to bring local wildflowers back to these areas of Greystones. The rivers that run through Greystones are full of wildlife. Alongside the River Eye you can listen for water voles rustling among dense vegetation, as well as the distinctively ‘plop’ when they enter the water. This species is severely endangered, through loss of habitat and predation by mink, but thanks to Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Greystones now has one of the largest populations in the Cotswolds. Stretches of riverbank have been fenced off to encourage vegetation, for them and the otters that regularly travel the river. In this wonderful habitat tiny fish can be seen all year, but invertebrates like freshwater shrimps and mayfly nymphs hide away under pebbles and banks. Watch in early summer for flamboyant banded and beautiful demoiselles and for other species later. A glimpse of a kingfisher is possible! They have also created habitats and homes for bats, owls and other birds around the farm and visitor centre. Common and soprano pipistrelles, Natterer’s bats, long-eared bats and lesser horseshoe bats roost above the Discovery Barn and barn owls roost in the office building. Around the farm, swallows and house martens nest in the barn eaves and pied wagtails stalk the rooves looking for insects.
