Description
Visit all your favourite Downton Abbey filming locations during this full day tour from London. Travel through the beautiful Cotswolds countryside and to the village of Bampton, used for many Downton Abbey scenes. You’ll also visit Yew Tree Farm (Cogges) and last but not least, magnificent Highclere Castle.
Yew Tree Farm (Cogges)
The first stop on your Downton Abbey filming locations tour is Yew Tree Farm (Cogges). This farm first appeared in series four with Mr. Drewe as the tenant farmer! You will learn about the developing storyline between Charles Blake, handsome government advisor, and Lady Mary, now entrusted with the running of the estate following Matthew’s death.
At Yew Tree Farm, enjoy a short tea break in the rustic cow shed Cafe at Cogges before exploring the great house and traditional farm buildings. You’ll recognise the location of the now famous ‘pig scene,' featuring the characters of Charles Blake and Lady Mary!
Bampton
The tour will then take a short drive to the Cotswolds village of Bampton. This lovely village has been used extensively throughout the series of Downton Abbey and has many beautiful 17th and 18th-century houses. Bampton Library was used for Downton Cottage Hospital and doctor’s surgery, St. Mary’s Church became Downton Church and Church Square, and Churchgate House was used for exterior shots of the Crawley family home!
You will be able to walk along the street used for shops in the show and see the post office and Grantham Arms, where Tom Branson lodged for a short while.
Highclere Castle
The spectacular end to your Downton Abbey-inspired tour is a visit to Highclere Castle; home of the Grantham family. Visits to Highclere Castle are hugely sought after, and the Castle is only open to the public for a short period each summer.
You will arrive in the early afternoon, leaving plenty of time to explore the beautiful gardens and visit The Monk’s Garden, White Border, Secret Garden and Wood of Goodwill. The Carnarvon family have lived at Highclere since 1679, and the castle has seen a number of refurbishments in recent years.
On entry to Highclere Castle visitors follow a route through the Castle with guides in each State room. The State rooms include the Saloon, Library, Dining room, Music room, Drawing room and Smoking room. Visitors can then go up the Red Stairs to view some of the Bedrooms and the Gallery, before walking down the Oak staircase back to the Saloon in the heart of the house. You will recognise some of the rooms from key Downton Abbey scenes and follow in the footsteps of the actors as the guide leads you through this breathtaking home.
After departing Highclere Castle, the tour will then return to London for approximately 6.30pm.

Private Visit to Leeds Castle
Described as 'the loveliest castle in the world' by Lord Conway, Leeds Castle sits in 500 acres of landscaped parkland across two idyllic islands, deep in the heart of the magnificent Kent countryside.

Visit Canterbury Cathedral
Centre of English Christianity and home to a succession of 104 Archbishops since Augustine, Canterbury is a magnificent medieval city that’s a must for any history buff. Discover the scene of Archbishop Thomas Becket’s gruesome murder at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. Learn the intriguing history behind this captivating masterpiece of medieval architecture. Marvel at the cathedral’s spectacular stained glass windows, many of which have survived from the late 12th and early 13th centuries.
The White Cliffs of Dover
Visit the gateway to England and admire the famous White Cliffs of Dover, with a photo stop on the stunning stretch of coastline that faces continental Europe. You'll also see Dover Castle, a commanding medieval fortress rising over the English Channel and a key film location in 'The Other Boleyn Girl.'
Greenwich
Overlooking the River Thames, Greenwich is a stunning World Heritage site bustling with fine maritime landmarks. See the Old Royal Naval College designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and the world–famous Cutty Sark, a fascinating 19th–century clipper ship.
