UK’s ‘most beautiful’ village says reputation is ‘double edged sword’ | UK | News
The locals, the most beautiful in the UK, the village of Sirin Gloucestershire has disadvantages, many of them are linked to the development of holidaymakers. Bibury, a small Cotswolds village known for its beautiful water meadows and 17th century weavers, was defined by William Morris as the “most beautiful” in the UK, and this status was re -confirmed in a new Forbes list.
