where was this country filmed

“This Country,” the British mockumentary sitcom, was mainly filmed in and around the small town of Northleach in the Cotswolds, in Gloucestershire, England.

Main filming location

  • The show is set in a fictional Cotswolds village, but the real-world filming took place in Northleach, a rural Cotswold town in Gloucestershire.
  • Many exterior village shots, street scenes, and key character locations are real places in and around Northleach rather than studio sets.

Notable spots used

  • Kerry’s house exteriors were filmed on Fortey Road in Northleach, which fans often identify as a recognizable background in the series.
  • Other recurring locations include the local bus stop, village green, playground, village hall, and nearby farms and pubs in Northleach and the surrounding Cotswolds area.

Why Northleach was chosen

  • Creators Daisy May and Charlie Cooper drew on experiences around Cirencester but were advised to use a smaller town like Northleach to emphasize the isolated, close-knit feel of the characters’ lives.
  • The compact layout and traditional Cotswold look of Northleach helped create the show’s authentic rural atmosphere.
