History: Bibury, located in Gloucestershire, is a quintessential English village on the River Coln in the Cotswolds. Arlington Row stands as a nationally significant architectural conservation area, even featured inside UK passports. Built in the 14th century as a wool store for a nearby monastery, the building was converted into cottages for weavers in the 1600s, producing cloth for Arlington Mill. Preserved by the Royal College of Arts, Arlington Row remains a popular tourist attraction and has served as a filming location for productions such as *Stardust* and *Bridget Jones’s Diary*. Today, it symbolises the enduring beauty of English rural heritage.
