Highclere Castle, near Newbury, on the Berkshire-Hampshire border, is eponymous Downton Abbey, home to the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and their family since 1679. Highclere is undoubtedly one of England's most beautiful castles set amid spectacular parkland.

The current castle was largely rebuild in the mid – 19th century by Sir Charles Barry, the architect who redesigned the Houses of Parliament. The majestic Victorian gothic edifice, standing in grounds landscaped by Capability Brown, is a testament to Britain’s pride and self-confidence of the time.

Immerse yourself in the glamour, the emotion and the beauty of Downton Abbey as you follow in the footsteps of the Crawley family and their servants.

After the tour, we can arrange a private lunch in the formal dining room or a fabulous afternoon tea or lunch at a traditional country pub.

Experience a private tour of the grounds featured within Downton Abbey by the Director of Cogges Heritage Trust, who was present throughout the filming of Downton Abbey. You will be able to experience how this magnificent manor house was transformed into the ‘Yew Tree Fam Manor’ featured in the series.
