Bibury Trout Farm is one of Britain’s oldest, and certainly most attractive, trout farms. Founded in 1902, by the famous naturalist Arthur Severn to stock the local rivers and streams with the native Brown Trout, it now covers 15 acres in one of the most beautiful valleys in the Cotswolds, the Coln Valley. The crystal clear waters of the Bibury spring provides the essential pure water required to run the hatchery, which spawns up to 6 million trout ova every year.
On site is a fish shop stocking a wonderful range of wines, deli. products and preserves as well as quality breads, etc, and of course trout products inclluding smoked and fresh trout. Play area for children plus cafe.
For the more adventurous there's an ideal opportunity to catch your supper or get hooked on a new hobby. Open at weekends during March – October, and during the local school holidays, we provide all the equipment and help if required.
The village of Bibury itself has been referred to as the “most beautiful village in England” by William Morris and is well worth a visit, with the historic Arlington Mill, Arlington Row and the beautiful St Mary’s Church.
