Inside Ellen DeGeneres’ star-studded UK neighborhood that’s home to David and Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss
Ellen DeGeneres’ recent move to England has placed her in the midst of a celebrity enclave.
The TV host, 66, and her wife Portia de Rossi, 51, have moved to the Cotswolds, according to a new report in The Wrap, as they joined a number of Hollywood stars fleeing the Unites States after Donald Trump’s Election win.
The couple are now reportedly living in the rural portion of Southwest England — also known as the A-list capital of Britain — that is about 100 miles from London.
The Cotswolds is a beautiful region known for its rolling hills, and picturesque villages and countryside, sometimes called the Heart of England.
Their new neighborhood is also home to a number of A-listers, including David and Victoria Beckham — who’ve previously shared glimpses of their idyllic rural life — Kate Moss, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Hurley, Jeremy Clarkso, Stella Macartney, and Damien Hirst, among many others.
The area — which plays host to raunchy TV series drama Rivals — is even home to royalty, as King Charles owns Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
Kate Winslet has also had a mansion in the area at one point, though it’s unclear if she still lives there, and Hugh Grant has been rumored for years to have a small hideaway in the Cotswolds.
Previously, a study found that the region is home to more stars per acre than anywhere outside the capital.
There are around 50 celebrities with bolt-holes in the Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire countryside.
The area is popular with celebrities looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of London, which would make sense for DeGeneres and Rossi, as they had already tried to avoid Los Angeles by moving out to Santa Barbara County’s Montecito, about 75 miles from LA.
The Cotswolds hills extend across the counties of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, parts of Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
The area features charming towns and villages built of Cotswold stone.
