One Day Tour
Downton Abbey
Key Information
The much-anticipated movie Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale was released in 2025. Let us take you to some of the locations used in this globally popular series.
Here are some of the places you can see on our very exciting one-day Downton Abbey Tour. When the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon open the doors of Highclere Castle, we are able to include this magnificent estate in our Downton Abbey themed tour.
Spend either the morning or afternoon in Highclere Castle. Have lunch in the picturesque Cotswolds country inn where Lady Sybil and the family chauffeur, Branson, spent the night during their elopement in the most controversial story-line in Season two of Downton Abbey. Have your photograph taken on the ‘Downton’ Village Green and visit the Church where Lady Mary and Matthew Crawley were married. Downton Hospital is also there in a different guise.
When Highclere Castle is closed to the public we can take you to Grantham House which is the Crawleys’ London residence. You will drive-by the exterior of the London property that was used en route to the magnificent Georgian mansion set in the heart of Royal Berkshire where all the interior scenes were filmed. You can visit the impressive rooms and stroll through the grounds where Shirley MacLaine, who is wonderful as Martha Levinson, hosted the Hyde Park picnic.

Testimonials
"I can't say enough good things about the trip [to Ireland] and my nieces feel the same way. They told their mother they couldn't wait to go back to Ireland and one actually said she would live there. All the driver guides were terrific and I must say that James Barton was exceptional. Thank you again for planning such a wonderful trip."
