It’s Thursday again, which means it’s time for another week of Thursday Doors—and I just realized I haven’t shared this one yet!
In November 2023, my husband, Jack, my son, Tim, and I embarked on a road trip to the Cotswolds. The journey from London took about 2.5 hours, making it an easy and scenic day trip.
The gates in the Cotswolds are charming and rustic, perfect for welcoming visitors to the beautiful English countryside. They lead to stunning landscapes, peaceful trails, and historic villages.
Here are gates to mansions.
Some gates to cottages
Here are the wooden doors of quaint stone cottages, some with vintage knockers.
I am linking this to Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge.
This was from travels in November 2023.
It all looks so warm and inviting, Teresa.
Inviting indeed.
Some wonderful gates and doors, and interesting to see a flood gate on one of the doors too. My doors this week were also from November 2023.
Thanks scooj. Is that the blue one that you are talking about? 2023 was a good year for me travel wise.
Hi Teresa – yes the wooden door with the light blue gate across the bottom third.
So that is what it’s called. Thanks for that.
A wonderful variety Teresa
Thanks Brian.
This is a very nice collection of gates and doors, Teresa. I love the featured door and that plank roof over the entrance in the last photo.
The featured photo is of course my favourite one too. Thanks Dan.
Thanks Dan.
The Cotswolds are always very charming. A shame the area has now become so desirable and expensive.
Well they are using it for tourism sake. Anyway, just don’t stay nor eat there. Haha
You’ve got it!
A lovely selection of Cotswolds doors!
Thanks a lot Sarah.
I like your collection of doors today, especially the white door with the two windows to the left. They all are so quaint and pretty.
So pretty isn’t it. Thanks for commenting. Thanks much.
The Cotswolds is one of the prettiest parts of England.
Great series of these doors highlighting the rustic charms of the houses.
Agreed. I felt so lucky to have experienced the place. Thanks Nes.
These doors are wonderful Teresa. I love all the greenery too and blue skies. It’s definitely a place I would love to visit one day.
It is something out of a storybook. Thanks Wayne.
I dream of wandering the English countryside, with a base in London. Too much English lit in school i guess. Am putting this on my list. Thanks for sharingPat
One for the bucketlist! 👍
Oh wow. I love these. David and I drove from Edinburgh to the area of the Cotswolds on a very purpose oriented trip: to pick up a cat. Our ability to sightsee the area was limited due to time, as the one-way is about 8 hours. We drove through little hamlets, saw things in between, but the roads there are not conducive to being able to stop a car and take photos! Too hilly, narrow, winding, etc. I was really chomping to get out and see things like all of your photos show, but we weren’t able to. David is native UK and so this is all “normal” to him. To me? Fairy tales and magic!
Thanks for your comment and I agree about the narrow streets haha By the way where are you from? I am from the Philippines then moved to Australia so this view is so wonderful to see and is so different with what I am accustomed.
Oh, wow! I thought you were FROM the Cotswolds! I am from the USA, David is from Edinburgh. I plan to move there whenever the UK gets around to saying I can. Meanwhile, on the trip I mentioned in the above comment, I spent about 4-5 months visiting David. That was our ONE trip to the area, and I was just dying to leap out and take ten million photos. Your photos of the area just reinforced that!
Nope, just passing through.
Oh, I see that now. For some reason I read your post title as your blog title. I went back to view your full blog (as I had just stopped in following the “doors” links on Dan’s page). Wonderful! I’m looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for the follow. Hope you enjoy my content. Have a great day!
So many wonderful doors!
Thanks a lot!!
Vintage knockers… love it!
Thanks for stopping by!
