“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.
