A One in a MILLION Morning Walk || England's Prettiest Village?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- So, today we are out and about walking once more in the world famous Cotswold village of Bibury which is located in Gloucestershire, England. The village is located 6 1/2 miles (10.5 km) northeast of Cirencester.
Bibury is arguable one the most iconic tourist destinations in the Cotswolds and receives many-many thousands of visitors every year from all over the globe. The one attraction that really makes Bibury stand out is the world famous Arlington Row, which is a row of cottages originally built in 1380 as a monastic wool store and then converted in the 17th century to weavers cottages. Today, Arlington Row is managed and owned by the National Trust.
Besides Arlington Row, Bibury has other attractions including the Trout Farm.
Why such a bold title for this video? Well, simply because this morning walk is arguably a one in a million due to the very fact that for the entire duration not a single vehicle passed through the village (as far as I could tell) and also not one other person was encountered along the way, this is an incredible rarity in Bibury! Just a couple of hours after filming, coaches full of tourists were flocking into the village and it was crazy busy! Also the wildlife seemed to be the loudest I have ever heard in Bibury. Sadly though, the tranquillity was slightly marred by the man-made noise of an airliner in the distance, which is heard in the last 5 minutes or so of the walk.
There is just one hidden OAAW logo within this video!
Thanks for walking with me.

Nice opening. Enjoyed visiting Bibury. Was there in the summer. Seeing it alone, with no interruptions as you have here, is truly one in a million! 🙂 So good to see everything green again. Great work!! 🙌🏻
Hi James. It is really good to hear from you today. Glad that you enjoyed our peaceful morning walk.
Thanks for your continued support.
Enjoy your day.

7:18 Really like the "no drones" rule.
You were right. It was a one in a million video.
One of the things I love about your videos, you go out early in the morning before most people are awake, so the only sounds are those of nature. It's so easy for me to imagine another period long ago, and these villages appear to grow up from the forest, as if they are a part of them.
Hi Eunice. It is really good to hear from you. Hope you are keeping well. Glad you enjoyed this early morning walk.
All the best to you.

Quelles magnifique rangée de cottages .Tout est beau .Merci pour les explications et pour le logo 👍merci du partage .Bises de France 🙏🏼
Good evening Li Zen. It is very nice to hear from you today. Good to hear that you enjoyed this walk. That did sound like Peacocks in the distance. Well done on spotting the logo again :).
Many thanks.

Well, another walk has just joined the “favorites” list! Your description of Bilbury as “England’s prettiest village” was very accurate- though judging from previous walks you have shown us, there are many other contenders for that honor. I loved the area by the stream, near the opening- with the bench. I would love to be sitting on that bench reading, or quietly making music on some instrument- just enjoying the peaceful ambiance. I continue to stand in awe of the sheer age of some of these buildings (so well preserved!), like the Arlington Row you described. What a sense of the past one must feel when standing there and viewing these structures! (“Old” over here is approx. 200 years, give or take a few decades….not even close to what is old in the UK). Thank you for including this kind of information in your description, that viewers might fully appreciate the history they are seeing. As always, the lovely pathways and lush greenery all around were a delight to see. The cat running along the pathway and slipping through the bars of the gate at the 5 minute mark might not have been significant to anyone else, but it brought me a smile- as I was instantly reminded of one of my dad’s stories of a little cat he encountered and spent time with when he was stationed in England during WWII! The video cat even looked like the cat of yesteryear, as I have a truly sweet photo of my dad as a young GI, smiling and holding the English kitty. :)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful walk with us- and I am so glad that you fit this all in before the hordes of tourists arrived. Great timing! :)
Hi Janet. It is really good to hear from you today. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Bibury definitely has strong competition when it comes to having the honor of being named England's prettiest village, especially as there are so many beautiful villages all over the UK but locally, locations like Snowshill, Stanton, Bourton-on-the-Water and Castle Combe to name but just a few all have very individual merits and unique identities and it could be argued that they are also contenders for the title :).
The photo you have of your dad & his little feline friend sounds beautiful. Photographs and video are the nearest we have to time machines, a window to the past. It never ceases to amaze me how a walk so far away from one's own location can spark or trigger so many precious memories and emotions. It is also amazing to think that hundreds of years from now someone could be reading through our comments from the what will then be the vintage year of 2024, If so...Hello to you from us!
All the best to you,

Even the names of these towns sound poetic and pretty!
Yes, it’s a wonderful photo of my dad….wish that I could send it along with my comment. The American GIs informally adopted a stray cat that hung around the air base- undoubtedly attracted by the smell of food cooking in the mess hall. Appropriately enough, they named him “K.P.”, standing for “kitchen patrol” (the kitchen duties that the soldiers were scheduled to assist with). The cat definitely brought a little feeling of home to these men who had an entire ocean between them and their families, friends, and pets. When the troops were scheduled to move on to France, they wanted to take K.P. with them, and even built a little carrier for him- but on moving day he never showed up. Clearly he wasn’t about to renounce his British citizenship- and good for him, as it’s admirable to be loyal to one’s own country- even if you happen to be a cat! : )
Have a great week!
That is a lovely village with birds. singing in rhe morning and the river.. It is so amazing. Thank you so.much for this wonderful walk.🤗👍❤️
Hi Eyra. Thanks for your lovely comment. Glad you enjoyed today’s walk.

@@OutandaboutWalking oh yes, I am...🤗
I love when you were walking along the footpath you came upon that random door in the wall. It reminded me of that passage from Evelyn Waugh’s “Brideshead Revisited”: “But I was in search of love in those days, and I went full of curiosity and the faint, unrecognized apprehension that here, at last, I should find that low door in the wall, which others, I knew, had found before me, which opened on an enclosed and enchanted garden, which was somewhere, not overlooked by any window, in the heart of that grey city”.
Hi Arthur. That is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
All the best to you.

What a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your support.

I’m speechless! Truly, that was more like one in a billion, to film Bibury in its full glory. This video brought the peace and serenity I needed today. I’m so glad you got there before the crowds. I visited in November 2019. Thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with us all. So glad I found your channel ☺️
Hi Rose, it is really nice to hear from you. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I hope you are doing OK as it sounds like you are having a hectic day?!

👋🏻my Friend! All ok, if I just stop watching the news😣 Your serene videos are an escape from our crazy world we live in. I’ll be back in the UK soon, and this time I’m determined to drive on the left side, so I can visit more glorious places, as you do. Your videos have provided a lot of inspiration. Would love to see you do a video in Wells. Still trying to watch all your videos. Please keep on traveling and filming! 🙏🏻

It's one of your best walks! I enjoy this walk on my treadmill and get immersed into the surroundings. Well-done. I would love to see this walk in fall with the colors, and I imagine mist over the water. Thank you for this fabulous footage.
Thanks very much for your lovely comment. Glad you enjoyed this walk. A walk there in the Fall is a great idea!
All the best to you.

I've come to really like your descriptions, they're so personable, sharing your experiences and happenstances, it's like you're grabbing our hands and merrily sharing how natural life is. 📸 1:29 & 9:00. Did you see the trout farm employee 🐈⬛ arriving for the morning shift? Must say, Cotswolder engineers sure know where to place tunnels and bridges to amp the volume of water! And did I embarrass you by jumping the fence and rolling round all up in the lushness? I'm not sorry. Your buddy Sir🚶 was taking donations, there'll be no bubble gum stuck on railings. Say, I've a favor, it's expected from me you'll agree, couldja maybe start a vid whilst sitting on a bench? They're everywhere and quite inviting! Ifn you don't, I will! I enjoyed this stroll, no 🦟 mosquitoes! They're so thick here (from constant storms) they flow like thick molasses and vampire everything!
Good day, L.J. Hope you are doing OK. Thanks very much for your lovely comment. I did see the employee arriving for duties. I must say tho, I think there was something fishy going on :).
Not in the slightest! It is always nice to see you enjoying yourself in the Cotswold countryside.
That is a great idea…leave it with me, I will do that for you at the earliest opportunity.
Do you ever get bitten by the mosquitoes?
Enjoy your day and thanks again.

Unfortunately 🦟s paparazzi me... I carry a damp handtowel with a mean flick, most never get to land, those that do, 🪦.
El canto de las aves está lleno de energía y matices, en plena primavera. Este pueblo es especialmente bello, como salido de un cuento, todos sus rincones son un regalo a los sentidos. Imagino que las familias que lo habitan no estarán muy contentas por el bullicio y el caos que generan los turistas. Pero algo si sé, es un lugar idílico para visitar y disfrutar de su belleza. El comienzo del recorrido es especial, con el puente de madera sobre las tranquilas aguas, de ahí en adelante quedé enamorada de todo el recorrido. En el estrecho camino hay un árbol con dos grandes ramas que semejan brazos, parece un figura humana y aterradora, jajajaja, " la influencia del cine". El logotipo, como siempre en un lugar estratégico. Muy agradecida por este encantador rato compartido con todos los que aquí concurren. Feliz día mi buen amigo.❤❤❤
Hello Ana. It is very nice to hear from you today. Hope your day is going well. Glad to hear that you enjoyed our walk in Bibury.
