Arlington Mill

With a history dating back to 1086, the mill which stands on the site today is believed to date back to the 17th Century.

The cloth produced at the Arlington Row of weavers' cottages was sent to Arlington Mill for fulling (degreasing).

Arlington Mill - A brief history

Arlington Mill is now a private residence (which was also available as a holiday cottage), but it was once a working mill processing corn and wool, and later housed the museum of Arlington Mill with a collection of period clothing, documents and working machinery illustrating milling & the Victorian way of life.

Arlington Mill, a Grade II listed building, was recorded as a cloth and corn mill in the 17th Century, continuing in dual use until mid 19th Century when concentration switched to corn milling.

Although Arlington Mill is no longer open to the public, its picturesque setting and proximity to the iconic Arlington Row make it a key feature in any stroll through Bibury - it's a popular subject for photographers due to its traditional Cotswold stone architecture. The building's history as both an industrial and domestic space adds depth to the village's heritage..

Arlington Mill holiday accommodation

Arlington Mill was available to rent as a stunning holiday let in the heart of Bibury.

With ample off-road parking and 5 bedrooms, Arlington Mill was an excellent holiday property for friend and family vacations. It sleeps 12 people.

Arlington Mill no longer appears on the list of holiday cottages we promote in the area and we are in the process of establishing whether or not it will become available again as a holiday let. In the meantime, lots of holiday cottages in the Cotswolds are available to book through Horizon Cottages.
