The real film locations

Immerse yourself in the Downton Abbey way of life.

There is nothing quite like seeing the real film locations of your favourite TV show. It makes you feel part of it all. The estate at Highclere Castle is magnificent - superbly designed landscaped grounds by the 18th-century gardener Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Precisely why those opening shots of Downton Abbey are so impressive.

The majestic Victorian Castle, Highclere, is the real-life home of the Earl and Duchess of Carnarvon. Julian Fellows, the creator, and writer of the famous television series, is a family friend. Get a taste of aristocratic life, experience the decadence, remember your favourite Downtown scenes. Ours is when Lord Grantham gets his new puppy Tiaa.

Bampton is a quaint, Cotswold village is a step into the real-life Downtown Village set. Stroll past the Crawley House, Downton Cottage Hospital, the Post Office and St. Mary's Church where Edith found herself left at the altar and most importantly, finally got her happy ending. End the day with a stop in Dorchester, a charming village with antique shops and lovely old pubs.

Prefer to stay overnight and continue to tour the glorious English countryside? We recommend our suggested Town and Country Tour for a first-time visit to England. We can customise the itinerary to include Highclere Castle and make other suggestions based on your interests and accommodation preferences.
