A village in the Cotswolds has been named among the prettiest in the world.
Within the list, Bibury in Cirencester was ranked higher than any other UK location, taking 14th place.
Faraway Furniture’s experts took to Instagram to find the most popular villages before making a list of the prettiest ones.
According to Time Out, Bibury is where you’ll find the “famous Arlington Row, a line of medieval buildings which were converted into weavers’ cottages in the seventeenth century and are now some of the UK’s most photographed houses.”
The only other UK village to make the list by Faraway Furniture was Staithes in North Yorkshire.
