Explore the real-life Downton Abbey
Enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to Highclere Castle and receive two Downton gifts
Fans of the Crawley family and their staff will instantly recognise the square turrets of Highclere Castle, the real-life setting of Downton Abbey. Now you have the chance to go behind the scenes and explore it during an exclusive two-day short break, where you can follow in the footsteps of the show’s stars.
The castle is home to Lord and Lady Carnarvon. ‘My husband and I have the enormous privilege and pleasure of living in, and taking care of, my husband’s family home, Highclere Castle,’ says Lady Carnarvon. ‘Thanks to Downton Abbey, our home has become one of the most well-known, iconic houses in the world.’
TOUR ‘DOWNTON’ ITSELF
Many of the rooms and views at Highclere Castle will be familiar to viewers. Home to the Carnarvon family since 1679, the current Victorian castle is set in 1,000 acres of land. You’ll explore the drawing room and dining room – backdrops to many withering put-downs from Lady Violet Crawley, played
by Dame Maggie Smith.
