We explore the main filming locations for multi-award winning Downton Abbey. Our first stop is the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bampton, used extensively as a filming location including:
There is a small exhibition inside Bampton Library which sells an assortment of Downton Abbey memorabilia.
After Bampton, we take a leisurely drive through the countryside to Highclere Castle, the real life home to Lord and Lady Canarvon. Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey, is a long time family friend of the Canarvon family.
We explore Highclere Castle including:
Highclere Castle tickets do need to be booked in advance and are only available at certain times of the year so please do check with us first.
If Highclere Castle is closed, Bampton can easily be combined with other destinations e.g. Oxford and the Cotswolds.
