Country Life is a British weekly quality magazine. It covers the pleasures an joys of rural life, as well as the concerns of rural people. It is primarily concerned with the lifestyle and concerns of landowners and other rich country dwellers, but it has many readers who do not belong to those categories. Much of its success has historically been built on its coverage of country houses. The first several dozen pages of each issue are devoted to colour advertisements for upmarket residential property, which are one of the best known attractions of the magazine, popular with many people who have little prospect of ever living in one of the lavish homes featured.
