Arlington Row, 17th-century weavers' cottages in Bibury, England
The limestone buildings of Arlington Row feature weathered stone walls, slate roofs, and steep gables along a cobblestone street beside the River Coln.
Originally constructed in 1380 as a monastic wool storage facility, these structures were transformed into residences for weavers during the late 1600s.
The National Trust maintains these Grade I listed buildings, which appear on the inside cover of British passports as a symbol of English heritage.
Visitors can explore the exterior of Arlington Row throughout the year, with designated parking areas available near the River Coln bridge.
Henry Ford attempted to purchase and relocate the entire row of cottages to the United States, but local preservation efforts prevented the transfer.
