Whether you're sending Christmas wishes to friends and family who live in the Cotswolds, sharing memories with someone who has visited the region, or sending a distinctly British Christmas greeting overseas, this card brings the beauty of the English countryside to someone special.

Three Panels of Cotswolds Christmas Charm

This beautifully illustrated Cotswolds Christmas card brings together three distinctive scenes celebrating the charm, character and festive traditions of this much-loved part of England.

Panel 1: Bourton-on-the-Water – The Picturesque Village

Often described as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, Bourton-on-the-Water is famous for its pretty stone buildings and the River Windrush flowing through the heart of the village. This snowy winter scene captures the village's charming shopfronts lining the riverbanks, with the water flowing beneath the historic stone bridges. Snow-covered rooftops and the peaceful riverside setting evoke the timeless beauty of this iconic Cotswolds destination.

Panel 2: Bourton-on-the-Water – The Iconic Christmas Tree

Celebrate one of the UK's most photographed Christmas traditions: the famous illuminated Christmas tree in the River Windrush at Bourton-on-the-Water. Each year, a large Christmas tree is placed in the centre of the river, its base weighted to keep it secure in the water. As its branches sparkle with festive lights, their colourful reflections shimmer across the flowing water, creating a truly magical sight at dusk. This enchanting winter scene captures the special atmosphere that draws visitors to the village every Christmas.

Panel 3: Burford – The Gateway to the Cotswolds

Often described as the “Gateway to the Cotswolds”, Burford is one of the region's most recognisable and elegant destinations. Famous for its historic high street, traditional Cotswold stone buildings and timeless English character, Burford is particularly beautiful beneath a blanket of snow. This peaceful winter scene celebrates the village's picturesque architecture and welcoming countryside atmosphere, making a fitting finale to this festive Cotswolds triptych.

Together, these three scenes capture the beauty of the Cotswolds in winter, from the flowing waters and charming shopfronts of Bourton-on-the-Water to its much-loved Christmas tree tradition and the historic elegance of Burford.

Why Choose a Cotswolds Christmas Card?

The Cotswolds is one of Britain's best-known countryside destinations, attracting visitors who appreciate its historic villages, scenic walks, traditional stone buildings and peaceful atmosphere.

This Cotswolds Christmas card is a thoughtful way to share that feeling with someone special. It's particularly suited to people who live in the region, have visited on holiday, enjoy the English countryside or have fond memories of time spent in the Cotswolds.

With its snowy village scenes and traditional architecture, it makes a distinctive alternative to a generic Christmas card.

More Than Just a Christmas Card

Why send a Christmas card that will be put away or thrown away when the festive season is over?

Bare Cards are designed to be enjoyed beyond the traditional Christmas greeting. This three-panel triptych opens out into a beautiful piece of countryside artwork that can be displayed throughout the festive season.

After Christmas, the recipient can continue to enjoy the illustrations as a reminder of the Cotswolds, making this a greeting card that has a purpose beyond the post.

It's a lovely way to send a little piece of England to someone who loves the countryside, whether they live nearby or on the other side of the world.

The Clever Self-Sealing Christmas Card — No Envelope Needed

Bare Cards are different from traditional greetings cards. Our patented self-sealing design combines the greeting card and envelope into one clever format, eliminating the need for a separate envelope.

Simply write your Christmas message, peel away the protective backing from the adhesive sealing strip and fold the card closed, ready for posting.

The posting panels are part of the card itself, so there is no separate envelope to buy, use or throw away, and no plastic cello-wrap is required.

Why Choose a Bare Card?

• No separate envelope needed: the integrated adhesive strip allows the card to seal itself.
• Less single-use paper waste: the card and envelope are combined in one design.
• No plastic cello-wrap: no additional plastic wrapping is required.
• Illustrated posting panels: the design continues beyond the front of the card.
• Designed to be kept: the three-panel artwork can be displayed after Christmas.
