Film Locations Tour

Downton Abbey & The Cotswolds

Step into the world of Downton Abbey with our immersive tour, beginning in the charming village of Bampton – the real-life Downton Village – where you’ll visit iconic filming spots like the church, hospital, and village pub. Then, journey to the magnificent Highclere Castle, the Crawley family’s home, and discover the rich history behind this aristocratic estate.

If Highclere isn’t part of your plan, we offer an alternative route through beautiful Cotswold villages such as Chipping Campden, Broadway, and Lower Slaughter, all with Downton connections and hidden gems. Enjoy a traditional pub lunch and hear fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, with the option to explore even more filming locations on our Cotswold Film Tour.

Tour Highlights:

Take in the Village of Downton Abbey.

Explore the farmyard used for the Farm Scenes in Dowton.

Wander famous Cotswold Villages such as Bibury and Burford.

Recreate Downton Abbey Episodes with your guide.

(Optional) Visit the Crawley’s main home in Downton – Highclere Castle!
