Bibury's most famous attraction, this ravishing row of rustic cottages – as seen in movies like Stardust – was originally a 14th-century wool store, before being converted into workers’ lodgings. They overlook Rack Isle, a low-lying, marshy area once used to dry cloth and graze cattle, and now a wildlife refuge. Visitors are reminded to admire the cottages but respect the residents' privacy as you stroll the flower-lined lane alongside.
The cottage at 9 Arlington Row can be rented via the National Trust (www.nationaltrust.org.uk).
