Tourism causing ‘chaos’ in the Cotswolds, claim villagers

At a recent meeting in Bibury, residents also had similar complaints.

One told the meeting he was sworn at by coach drivers after asking them to move because they were blocking the road.

“Bibury is not built in any way for these large coaches, it’s just not the right place,” he said.

“Some time there is going to be a serious accident. It’s a real issue. We are a real victim of over tourism and we are becoming the collateral damage and that is not right.”

Bibury is home to Arlington Row, reportedly one of the most photographed locations in the Cotswolds.

In 2017, a yellow car was vandalised when it was left outside the houses, as it was blamed for “ruining” tourists’ photos.

Another resident, Mark Honeyball, told the meeting he was physically assaulted by one visitor.

“The problems with parking and tourism in the village have quadrupled over the last five years,” he said.
