Bibury in the Cotswolds
The dispersed villages around the main towns of England still retain their native charm, due, in large part, to their insular demographics. Bibury has no large industry, although it was once home of weavers and has many long held family residences.
Their commerce was traditionally on the River Coin, which drops to the Thames. Now they depend largely on tourism because of the historic beauty of their traditional buildings.

It's very pretty!
wow wonderful photo
Thank you!
I'll love to visit someday. It's so green.
I may never get the chance, but there are so many places like this, parts of European heritage which we should visit and document before it is lost forever.
I agree
Biburi is also considered one of the oldest villages in England. Pevere mention of it is found in the Doomsday Book (cadastral census of all the lands of England, begun under William the Conqueror in 1086) in the 11th century, where the village is recorded under the name Berberi (Becheberie). I must say that since that time not much has changed, except that there phone box, antenna, and Yes cars.
I was fascinated by the history I read, and hoped people would be interested and look it up to share. European history is worth the study.
Lovely view
From what I understand, the whole village is much like that photo.
a good post, I really like what you share. good luck brother. Steady...!!!
Thank you!
