A Bluebell Dream: Our Dog-Walking Photoshoot at Combermere Abbey
A Bluebell Dream: Our Dog-Walking Photoshoot at Combermere Abbey
There’s something truly special about spring in the British countryside—but nothing quite compares to the dreamy sight of bluebells in bloom at Combermere Abbey. With ancient woodland paths, peaceful open spaces, and a soft violet haze covering the forest floor, it was the perfect setting for our latest Cheshire Country Store photoshoot—designed to showcase effortless style for dog walks and country strolls alike.
We were on the hunt for the ideal dog-walking location—somewhere that pairs natural beauty with that timeless, rural charm. Combermere delivered in every way. The bluebells created a magical atmosphere, and the soft woodland light brought our country looks (and our canine stars) to life.
The Looks
Chris stepped out in rugged refinement, wearing:
- Rodd & Gunn Jeans – durable, comfortable, and cut for easy movement on uneven paths.
- Ariat Napa Shirt – a classic check shirt, blending function and style.
- Ridgeline Monarch Gilet – perfect for layering, with a modern country aesthetic.
- Finished off with the Ariat Wexford Boots – waterproof, stylish, and ready for the countryside.
Becky’s look was all about blending comfort and performance with a stylish, outdoorsy edge:
- Ridgeline Best-Selling Leggings – flattering, flexible, and perfect for active walks.
- Ginger & Jardine Roll Neck – soft, cosy, and ideal for layering.
- Holland Cooper Borg Fleece Gilet – a chic and practical outer layer with signature detailing.
- Ariat Moresby Boots – built for country adventures, rain or shine.
- The Barkworth Reeve Rucksack – roomy enough for essentials (treats included).
- And a final touch of glamour with Holland Cooper Sunglasses.
Four Paws & Plenty of Style
Of course, no dog-walking shoot is complete without the dogs—and our star dog models did not disappoint. Full of energy and personality, they explored the trails, sniffed every bluebell patch, and posed like seasoned professionals (with a little help from a few biscuits behind the scenes!). Their joy and freedom were the heart of the shoot—reminding us why we love these walks, and the gear that makes them better.
Whether you're strolling through spring woodlands, rambling through the fields, or heading to your local pub with your pup, our latest looks are designed to go with you. Practical, stylish, and built for life in the country.
Thanks to Combermere Abbey for the breathtaking backdrop—and to our amazing models (human and canine) for bringing it all to life.
