The abundance of nature and history living in The Cotswolds make it one of the most genuinely beautiful areas in the world to photograph. While we can’t always be out and about exploring the countryside, these beautiful Instagram accounts transport us to nature and truly capture the area’s essence. If you’re considering a leap to The Cotswolds, check out these accounts! We’re sure you won’t be able to help but fall in love with this little area of England.

Cotswolds Culture

Founded by Cotswolds-based photographer Matt, Cotswolds Culture showcases a collection of beautiful imagery captured across the area by amateur and professional photographers. With beautiful honey hued cottages, vintage cars parked in timeless villages and shops showcasing their wares, you’ll be wanting to book a staycation that transports you back in time right away.

Curious Herring Life

Alice is a UK based photographer with a lifelong passion for photography and video games. We love her almost philosophical approach to photography, she loves how a photo captures a moment in time that will remain frozen forever in this format while the subject matter continues to change. For that reason, you get a real sense of emotion from her photography.

While Alice likes to capture the cobbled streets and cottages that are symbiotic to The Cotswolds, her account is so much more as she captures elements that bring The Cotswolds to life, from trailing ivy to detailed iron gates that lead to more adventures.

Life in the Shire

From country dog walks to a restored 1921 family steam roller, Matt’s Life in The Shire account shares a real love for Gloucestershire and The Cotswolds areas beyond.

With photographs of the alluring rolling hills, pretty English churches, chocolate box villages and stunningly handsome townhouses found within the main towns, we love Matt’s account as it captures stunning areas that are often overlooked by other photographers and Instagrammers.

A Cotswold Lifestyle

Nikki and Han are best friends that live in The Cotswolds and their account shares a love of all things interiors, design and the wonderful Cotswolds lifestyle.

You’ll find photographs of modern, country interior designs from roll top baths to farmhouse kitchens paired with views of untouched nature and of course, the magnificent Cotswold stone cottages.

Your Cotswolds

Your Cotswolds is a sub section of Your Britain @yourbritain, a community sharing their love for the beauty of the UK. It grew in such popularity that they now have an abundance of accounts for nearly every location you can think of across the country, and this includes the exquisite Cotswolds.

Managed by local photographers, Your Cotswolds gives you a rich variety of verdant landscapes, thatched cottages and country mansions including the local flora and fauna.
