Five TV Shows to Transport you to the British Countryside

February 8, 2024 · In: Interior Design

The British countryside has cast its enchanting spell on us, and it’s been nearly a decade since we first set foot on its picturesque terrain. The allure of those idyllic villages has stayed with us, one of our favorite memories for sure!

I can still imagine strolling along those cobblestone pathways, the scent of delicate roses filling the air, and the soothing melody of babbling streams in the background. I LOVED the charming villages, where a cup of tea and warm scones awaited, a perfect moment of deliciousness and tranquility!

The romance and serenity of the British countryside have left their mark on our hearts, and today, we’re excited to share some of our all-time favorite shows that effortlessly transport us back to those picturesque landscapes.

Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey gracefully unfolds over six seasons, spanning the years from 1912 to 1926. This show boasts an all-star cast, including the aristocratic Crawley family, their dedicated household staff, and a host of newcomers who enter their lives through marriage.

While the series exudes an air of manners, opulence, and sophistication, don’t be deceived by its posh exterior. “Downton Abbey” has garnered a strong following for its gripping drama, offering both compelling storytelling and breathtaking landscape shots. It’s a journey that will enchant and captivate you from start to finish.

Gardeners’ World

Gardeners’ World, a beloved British television treasure that has graced the screens for nearly 54 glorious seasons, marking its debut in 1968. Monty Don has been the charming, charismatic host since 2003.

What sets “Gardeners’ World” apart is that Monty Don hosts the show right from his own haven, the picturesque two-acre Longmeadow garden nestled in the heart of the West Midlands of England. It’s a delightful journey through the world of gardening.

Midsomer Murders

This series is inspired by Caroline Graham’s Chief Inspector Barnaby book series. Each episode we join Detective Chief Inspector and his trusty partner, Sergeant Gavin Troy as they tackle a myriad of intriguing cases in the picturesque Midsomer County.

What makes this show truly special? It’s a delightful blend of nostalgia and humor. This series skillfully transports us to a bygone era of British country life, capturing its essence before it fades into history. Get ready for a journey that will keep you both entertained and touched.

Grantchester

This show is about Reverend Sidney Chambers, not your typical clergyman from the 1950s in Cambridgeshire. With his trusty bicycle by his side, he embarks on an unexpected journey into the world of amateur mystery-solving. The stories are well crafted and the scenery is truly sublime.

Pride and Prejudice

Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet’s five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr. Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr. Darcy have moved into their neighborhood.

There are been multiple versions of this made but the 1995 series with Colin Firth is my personal favorite.

#EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual T #EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual Travel Trend Report called Unpack ‘26 and it got me so excited about planning our next trip! 

One of my favorite trends? Farm Charm. In 2026, it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting - and farm stays are leading the way.​ Think nature walks, stargazing, and relaxing with friends and family. Vrbo highlights how travelers are trading city lights for starlit skies.

Guys!! It’s cozy season and the sheets you sleep on make such a big difference to how you feel as you run and jump into bed (or just glide in nonchalantly!) We love to get cozy with coffees, slow mornings, and cheesy rom coms… and of course, lots of books!

But these luxe sheets by @brooklinen also help us sleep better! They are very cooling and feel super silky! We chose the slate color and it’s so striking and warm! And the waffle weave blanket adds that extra layer of cozy! 

Check out their bundles and save even more! (Because you are going to want it all!) and you can mix and match the colors depending on your bedroom decor! Eekk! I’m soooo excited to get our cozy season started off just right! 

Comment COZY and I’ll send you the links to my faves! XxV
