Just outside Bibury village sits a working trout farm that's been in operation since 1902, when Arthur Severn first established it to stock local rivers.
It remains one of England's oldest farms of its kind and continues running much as it always has. Visiting gives you a genuine look at how trout farming operates, from the hatchery stage right through to fully grown fish. The grounds lie pleasantly beside the River Coln, and if you fancy trying your hand at fishing, you can catch your own trout in the stocked ponds. You only pay for what you catch, so whatever you take home is genuinely fresh. The experience suits all ages and abilities, whether you're an experienced angler or just want to try something different on a relaxing afternoon.
There's a farm shop on-site selling smoked trout, pâté, and other local produce, so you can pick up quality food while you're there. The location is conveniently close to Arlington Row and the main village attractions, making it easy to fit into a day spent exploring Bibury itself. If you're basing yourself in this part of the Cotswolds and planning day trips to Cirencester or Burford, the farm works well as a natural addition to your itinerary.
