“When you can’t find the Sunshine, be the Sunshine” (Unknown)

As a lover of our glorious countryside myself, I love nothing more than spending time in the great outdoors. Horses and dogs are a big part of my life too. Everything and anything countryside I enjoy… places to visit, fashion, off the beaten track businesses, field to fork, walking and wildlife with everything in between.
Looking for somewhere to share these interests, I naturally gravitated towards social media but I just couldn’t find what I was looking for. In my head I imagined a place that was both informative and fun. Somewhere to meet others, learn about different topics and have lots of resources to hand for whatever I wanted in that moment. A community is what I really needed.
In August 2019 I took up the challenge of creating that missing platform with a dream of creating something ladies like me could enjoy too. Starting out on Instagram to test the water wondering if this was something others needed, I was overwhelmed with the response. The most common feedback was something like this was missing.

FAQs

What is the Ladies Countryside Community?

The Ladies Countryside Community (or LCC for short!) is a dedicated online platform for women with a love of the countryside and rural ways of life. A space online to share and explore the many, many areas of interest that encompass the countryside. From farming to gardening, field to fork, country clothing and style, working dogs, ladies shooting, equestrians, nature and wildlife there is so much to explore! No topic is off the table and here at the LCC we bring you the experts in these fields to help further your knowledge and enjoyment of your chosen areas of interest.

Through our main hub, this website, we have a range of content and formats to suit your needs including blogs, vlogs, workshops, interviews, tutorials, guides and our podcast. Plus in the very near future we will be hosting our own LCC events across the UK so you can meet those other like-minded ladies in real life!

We have lots of exciting plans for the future and we hope you’ll join us as we celebrate our love of the countryside and everything it has to offer.
