"As autumn approaches, you might be looking for some cute little spots you can visit for a weekend getaway; places where bright orange trees surround thatched roofs and it feels like the bustling streets of London are on another planet. If that sounds ideal, Bibury in the Cotswolds is where you need to be. This chocolate-box town was recently named the most gorgeous village in the world by Forbes, which called it a 'watercolour dream' with its 'honey-slicked cottages'."
"There is no train station in Bibury, being the tiny village that it is. Instead, you'll take the train to Kemble, where you'll hop off and get a taxi - around 25 minutes - into Bibury. The train, which goes directly from London Paddington to Kemble, is operated by Great Western Railway, and takes just over an hour. If you book in advance, you will be able to find off-peak tickets for as little as £26 one way without a railcard."
Bibury is a picturesque, chocolate-box village in the Cotswolds famed for honey-stoned cottages and watercolour scenery. The village is reachable from London for a day or weekend trip. Driving can take under two hours via the M40 (exit 8 to A40) or via the M4 to Swindon (exit 15) and then the A419. There is no train station in the village; trains run from London Paddington to Kemble on Great Western Railway in just over an hour, followed by a roughly 25-minute taxi into Bibury. Advance booking can yield off-peak fares from about £26 one way.
