With season 4 of ‘Bridgerton’ arriving on Netflix this month, viewers can soon expect to be swept off their feet once again.

The first part of the series arrives on 29 January, and viewers can watch the second half a few weeks later on 26 February.

This series sees the return of familiar stars, including series two’s leading lady Simone Ashley, who plays Anthony Bridgerton’s stunning wife, Kate Bridgerton. New faces promise to captivate audiences, with debutante sisters Rosamund Li (Michelle Mao) and Posy Li (Isabella Wei), making their debut.

Fans of the show can take their love for the Regency era to the next level by exploring the picturesque Cotswolds, where they can visit series filming locations and enjoy period experiences that bring the world of the Bridgerton family to life. Why not book a stay for your friends during launch week to watch the series in a fitting setting?

The Cotswolds, known for its stunning landscapes and charming villages, is the perfect backdrop for fans seeking to immerse themselves in the elegance of this bygone age. With StayCotswold’s luxurious country house and cottage accommodation, guests can enjoy a memorable stay whilst exploring the area’s historic and picturesque attractions.

Filming Locations: Step into the World of Bridgerton

The Cotswolds boasts several locations that echo the series’ lavish aesthetic. Key sites to visit include:

• Badminton House, the home of the real Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, was used as the interior of Hastings House and Danbury House, as well as the grand exterior of the Buckingham home garden.

• Interior scenes at Clyvedon Castle, the fictional home of lead characters from series one, Simon and Daphne, were filmed at palatial houses in the Cotswolds, including North Mymms Park, Wilton House and Badminton House, all of which are open for visits by arrangement.

• Chastleton House: This stunning Jacobean manor house, with its beautiful gardens and period architecture, offers a glimpse into the lives of the upper class during the Regency era. A visit here is a must for any Bridgerton fan looking to explore the history.

• Bourton-on-the-Water: Known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, this idyllic village features charming stone bridges and quaint cottages that mimic the programme’s romantic scenery. Stroll along the riverbanks and imagine the Bridgerton characters enjoying leisurely walks in a similar setting.

Period Experiences: Live Like a Bridgerton

Guests can indulge in a variety of period experiences that will transport them back to the Regency era:

• Afternoon Tea: Enjoy an elegant British afternoon tea at one of the Cotswolds’ historic tea rooms. Delight in freshly baked scones, delicate finger sandwiches, and an array of fine teas, just as the characters consume in the drawing rooms of Bridgerton.

• Country Estate Walks: Explore the picturesque grounds of local country estates, such as Sudeley Castle or Dyrham Park, where you can meander through manicured gardens and grand parklands. Take in the breathtaking views that would have been the backdrop to extravagant garden parties in the past.

• Grand Architecture: Appreciate the region’s stunning period architecture – from the honey-coloured stone buildings to the elegant manor houses, guests can witness the craftsmanship and artistry dating back to the Regency period.
