Arlington Row cottages, Bibury, Cotswolds, UK. With mute swans on the river Coln in foreground
The picturesque Arlington Row cottages were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store. This was converted into a row of cottages for weavers in the seventeenth century. The cloth produced there was sent to Arlington Mill. Arlington Row is a popular visitor attraction, probably one of the most photographed Cotswold scenes, and was preserved by the Royal College of Arts. It has been used as a film and television location, most notably for Stardust and Bridget Jones Diary. The River Coln, a tributary of River Thames, flows alongside the main street. Its water, along with the Bibury Spring, supplies Bibury Trout farm, founded in 1902 by the famous naturalist Arthur Severn, to stock the local rivers and streams with the native Brown Trout. The hatchery spawns up to six million trout ova every year
