A picture perfect Cotswolds village has been crowned the most beautiful on earth - but its 600 residents are less than delighted about the title.
Bibury, in Gloucestershire, topped the ranking of the 50 most beautiful villages in the world recently released by Forbes Magazine.
Its prose became positively purple as it waxed lyrical about the quaint parish, just north of Cirencester.
'Bibury unfurls like a watercolour dream - where honey-slicked cottages line Arlington Row; their mossy roofs whispering tales of 14th-century weavers,' it wrote.
The village, a historic centre for the wool trade which dates back to the Iron Age, beat out some formidable competitors to win the business magazine's title.
