点评:I have been thinking about visiting Bibury after reading about it being one of the most beautiful villages. Honestly, it’s somewhat overrated and not worth the drive to a tiny village with a large Trout Farm, a hugely expensive hotel, a row of pretty houses and very pricey parking. Granted the £8 was for the whole day, but you would be hard pressed to spend more than an hour in Bibury. There is a pricey gift shop at the Trout Farm which is open to all. Peter Rabbit and Beatrix Potter merchandise is so out of place. The tenuous link to ‘The Tailor of Gloucester’ is a tad too far. The toilet queue was huge due to the buses bringing in tourists. For the life of me I can’t understand why they let buses into the village. It is total gridlock when busy. The tiny jewel in the crown was the pretty church of St Mary the Virgin and the lady who spontaneously sang Amazing Grace, not for us but simply because she was stirred to. It was wonderful.
There is also a beautiful cafe/gift shop called Eleven Bibury as you walk along the road by the river Coln which was crystal clear, selling lovely arts and crafts and a gorgeous building.
Be sure to visit on a nice day as you will need to walk everywhere. Not a great destination for people with mobility challenges.
I may well be alone in my thinking but I believe there are prettier Cotswolds villages to visit with a wealth of beautiful places to enjoy. Stow in the Wold, Broadway, Bourton on the Water, The Slaughters to name but a few.
I guess I have at least got rid of the need to visit again which is a plus.
翻译:自从读到说拜伯里是最美的村庄之一后,我就一直想去看看。说实话,它有点被高估了,不值得开车去一个小小的村庄,那里有大型鳟鱼养殖场、价格不菲的酒店、一排漂亮的房子,而且停车费也贵得吓人。虽然8英镑是全天的,但你很难在拜伯里待超过一个小时。鳟鱼养殖场有一家价格不菲的礼品店,对所有人开放。彼得兔和碧翠丝·波特的商品太不搭调了。它和《格洛斯特的裁缝》的联系也太牵强了。由于游客乘坐巴士,上厕所的队伍很长。我实在想不通他们为什么让巴士进村。人多的时候,村子里简直是交通堵塞。最令人称奇的是美丽的圣母玛利亚教堂,还有那位女士自发地唱起了《奇异恩典》,她不是为我们唱的,而是因为她被感动了。那真是太棒了。沿着清澈见底的科恩河畔道路漫步,你会看到一家名为Eleven Bibury的漂亮咖啡馆/礼品店,出售精美的工艺品,还有一栋华丽的建筑。
一定要选个天气好的日子去,因为到处都需要步行。对于行动不便的人来说,这里不太适合。
或许只有我一个人这么想,但我相信科茨沃尔德还有更美丽的村庄值得一游,那里有很多美丽的地方值得欣赏。斯托因泽沃尔德、百老汇、水上伯顿、斯劳特斯等等,不一而足。
我想我至少摆脱了再次造访的念头,这倒是个加分项。
