Overview
This tour is perfect for any fan of Downton Abbey as it not only stops at the stunning Highclere Castle and the filming location of Downton VIllage but also stops for lunch in a charming country pub! Starting and finishing at your London hotel or selected pick-up point, the tour makes it easy for you to explore the world of Downton Abbey as well as the history and filming experiences of the locations that you will visit.
Led by an expert guide with years of experience in delivering Downton Abbey tours and who is also incredibly passionate about the series, all of your questions will be answered by the time you return to London. While on tour, you will also learn some behind-the-scenes secrets of how the series was filmed and, if you are lucky, meet some of the people who live in the places Downton Abbey also calls home.
The cost of lunch is not included in the tour as this gives you the chance to select your own meal choice from the pub's delicious menu.
Itinerary
Bampton
Bampton is Downton Village!
Seen throughout the 6 series and 1 film of Downton Abbey, many of us can walk through Bampton's filming locations with our eyes closed, thanks to how many times we have seen our favourite characters walk its streets. Home to the village hospital (in reality, the local library and a visitor centre which we will visit as part of the tour), the local church (where Lady Mary marries both Matthew, and Henry Talbot, and where Edith is both jilted at the altar and marries the man of her dreams - Bertie Pelham), Crawley house where Matthew and his mother Isabell live, and of course the Grantham Arms and Dog and Duck Pubs - which are actually private, not public houses - Bampton is a place like no other.
While in the village your guide will tell you all about the filming for Downton Abbey, how the local community has responded with being constantly flooded with tourist from across the world and will assist you in taking as many Downton themed photos as you can.

Our lunch stop will be the famous Trout at Tadpole Bridge. This award-winning Pub and restaurant is not to be missed. While the menu changes to match the season, traditional dishes such as fish and chips, bangers and mash, and various pies are usually on the menu.
Whilst here why not try one of the local beers, or try an English Wine?
Are you not ready for food or want to eat later? That is no problem. We can skip the Troat and head to the Carnarvon Arms, approximately 5-minute drive from Highclere Castle. All we ask is that you let us know which you would prefer at the time of booking.
1 hour
Highclere Castle
