Here, you will get a guided tour of locations such as Downton hospital, the village pub, the former home of Matthew Crawley and the local church. Get fascinating anecdotes about how the global hit TV series was made, about the actors involved and about the wonderful history of the places you visit on the tour.
You'll then head to Highclere Castle, which is used as the main Downton Abbey set. On the way, you'll learn about the 1000-year history of Highclere Castle and life ‘above and below stairs'.
