Bibury Village
The village of Bibury is located on the southwestern side of Great Britain and is the most English, oldest and most picturesque village in the region. Biburi is a place for romantics with charming rural landscapes, with a reigning atmosphere of peace and quiet. Here, despite the small size of the village, the architecture has been preserved in its original form. The village has preserved its original appearance, and it is rightfully considered the heart of England.
The hallmark of the village of Biburi are houses built in the 17th century, the ancient church of St. Mary, the remains of the fortress, as well as Arlington Row - stone weaving houses. The beauty of the village is complemented by picturesque streets and bridges stretching across the river.
The houses in the village are built of limestone called oolite with a bumpy surface, similar to caviar, which is mined in a local quarry. Fences and various structures are also made of this material. Locals joke that everything can be made from seashell except pudding. Since this material is very expensive, it is treated very carefully, it is dismantled in crumbling buildings and used again in construction. Each house is a relic of the village, and the cozy houses seem to have come to life from the picture. St. Mary's Church was built in the twelfth century in the Saxon style. The beauty of the stained glass windows that adorn it has been preserved to our time.
There is an island in the village called "Island of hangers". Previously, the village was a center of handicrafts, weaving and wool trade. The wool was washed in the river and then dried on hangers. Hence the island's name.
There is another attraction nearby – a Fishing farm, established more than a hundred years ago, which still operates today. Microflora life is maintained in its reservoirs. And trout eggs are released from here every year.
Today, the population of Biburi village consists of indigenous hereditary heirs, but rich and famous artists, poets, and actors have increasingly begun to buy houses here. They rest here and gain energy.
The beauty of Biburi village with its unique landscapes is described in the works of art by the English writer and artist William Morris. Films such as Bridget Jones's Diary and films about Miss Marple were shot here.
To see the beauty of the village untouched by modern amenities, to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and the authorities, it is worth visiting the village of Biburi.
