If you picture rural Britain, with rolling green hills, cobblestone streets and charming pubs, you are probably thinking of the Home Counties. Just outside the bustle of London, the surrounding districts provide a welcome respite from city life and a glimpse into the charm of the English countryside. Named the Home Counties for the commuters who travel from suburban houses into London for work, the list includes Essex, Kent and Surrey, which all directly border the big city, plus Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Sussex a little farther afield from the capital. The area has a rich history, with castles dating back to the Middle Ages and estates visited by figures such as Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Nowadays, the Home Counties are known for quiet gardens, winding roads and quaint villages, as well as seaside piers and beaches. It’s unsurprising many films have been set here; the thatched roofs, stately manors and ivy-covered brick walls are the epitome of idyllic country living.
