Itinerary

Visit Highclere Castle, Gardens & Egyptian Exhibition
Highclere Castle is instantly recognisable from the smash hit drama Downton Abbey but it has been home to the Carnarvon family since the 17th century. It contains almost 300 rooms and during this unaccompanied visit you will recognise many from the screen.

Enjoy lunch in one of the Castle’s tea rooms or cafe and maybe indulge in a glass of champagne on the front lawn! Afterwards, explore the Castle’s delightful gardens, woodland walks and flower meadow. Grab your photos to your heart’s content in this beautiful, famous setting.

Visit Lacock
Many of the Downton Abbey village scenes were filmed in the Cotswolds village of Lacock near Bath. Wander through its medieval streets with cottages made from honey-coloured limestone and pick up a souvenir from the charming shops.
