Some of my favourite films reviewed in this article Holy Grail, Clockwise to name just 2 …..

The great outdoors and a hearty chuckle are two of our favourite things. So what better way to enjoy both than with our top countryside comedy films, from old corkers to new chortlers?

We’ve rounded up our favourites below, reliving some wonderful moments in the process and giving details of locations so you can visit and do the same. Why not head up to Glen Coe on your next trip to Scotland and trace the path of iconic Holy Grail scenes, including the multi-purpose Castle Doune and the ‘Bridge of Death’ at the River Coe? Or practise some tai chi near the Yorkshire village of Kettlewell, where Calendar Girls was based?

Failing that, you can always tuck yourself away on a rainy Sunday afternoon, hunker down with a cuppa and enjoy some serious comfort viewing in the British countryside.
