Itinerary
Day 2
Day 1
Arrival & Visit to a Place of Interest
From a morning pickup in your local area we travel by coach to a place of interest, where you’ll have a chance to explore. Later we rejoin the coach and travel to our hotel for our relaxing overnight stay.
Day 2
Behind the Scenes at Downton Abbey at Highclere Castle & Return Home
Today we head to Highclere Castle by coach for our exclusive visit. We skip the queues and go behind the scenes where we explore the stunning filming locations and walk in the footsteps of all our favourite Downton Abbey characters. We also take in the castle’s spectacular Egyptian Exhibition which chronicles the 5th Earl of Carnarvon’s travels to Egypt and his role in the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, all documented in the Countess of Carnarvon’s latest book The Earl and the Pharaoh which we all receive a copy of. After an inspiring day at Highclere, we rejoin the coach for the journey home.
We’ll stay at a well-appointed hotel. The comfortable rooms are en suite and other facilities include a bar and restaurant. Meals may be buffet style.
Your hotel will be confirmed approximately 3 weeks before departure, therefore we cannot guarantee that the hotel will have a lift and/or ground floor rooms and may be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.
