Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle Group Tour from London

Depart from a central London location in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan and listen to entertaining anecdotes surrounding the hit series from your guide. Stay entertained by "Downton Abbey" tales and trivia as you travel, and admire the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside during the journey. Stop first at a traditional farm nestled amid the rolling hills of Cogges and refresh with a hot drink in the farm’s café (own expense). Discover a scattering of filming locations before traveling onward to Bampton, the village used extensively as Downton village. See recognizable sights such as the village church and the Crawley family home as you enjoy a guided walking tour of Bampton, and then continue to Highclere Castle, arguably the most iconic "Downton Abbey" filming location. Admire the lavish neoclassical façade of the residence and then embark on a stroll through the castle’s gardens and grounds. Discover the opulence of Highclere Castle’s interior during a guided tour. See rooms graced by classic characters like Lady Sybil and hear tales of the castle’s rich history as you wander. Return to your comfortable coach and relax during the journey back to central London, where the tour concludes.
