Our Top 5 Cotswold Instagram Locations
Are you looking to make your Instagram page picture perfect? Then look no further than these five Cotswold locations. We’ve created a list of our favourite spots that will leave your followers longing for more.
Bourton on the Water
This popular village is often referred to as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ because of the quaint bridges that cross the river along the centre of the village. With honey-coloured houses and idyllic scenery, there is charm and beauty at every turn. In the summer the village can get incredibly busy with tourists looking for the perfect photo opportunity, so take advantage of the current quieter days and have the place all to yourself.
The Wild Rabbit
The Wild Rabbit is a modern British Inn based in the picturesque village of Kingham. The team here has put great effort into ensuring that the aesthetic both inside and out is one that will have you reaching for your phone. Natural textures and quality materials have been combined to create a homely, warm, luxurious design that sits perfectly within the surrounding countryside. The giant topiary bunnies that line the entrance are certainly worth getting in shot!
Lower Slaughter
Step back in time with a visit to Lower Slaughter, a village in the centre of the Cotswolds with a settlement that dates back over a thousand years. Pretty stone cottages, rose flower gardens, and gently flowing streams make this village one of the prettiest in the UK. Dedicate a long afternoon to exploring the quaint streets and babbling brooks. There are plenty of angles to capture the quintessential cottages that line the river, with a beautiful Old Mill further up stream. The hardest decision will be choosing which of your winning shots to post!
Sudeley Castle and Gardens
Sudeley Castle is nestled in the Cotswold Hills on the edge of the historic town of Winchcombe. The extensive gardens have been lovingly restored and designed to reflect the Castle’s past. Tulips prevail in Spring, roses reign all summer long, before the tender plants of autumn come into their own. No matter the season, the magnificent gardens set against the medieval ruins make for an Instagram shot full of depth, history and seasonal relevance for your feed.
Cleeve Hill
Cleeve Hill is located on Cheltenham’s North-Eastern edge. It is the highest peak of the Cotswold Hills and offers breath-taking views that extend to the Malvern Hills. Countless footpaths cross its 1000 acres, including the Cotswold Way National Trail, making it the ideal place to capture those perfect snaps. For the ultimate shot, stick around to witness one of Cleeve Hill’s famous sunsets.
