Highclere Castle – The Real Downton Abbey & their Neighbours
Many of Britain’s elegant manor houses and country estates are dotted through the rural landscapes of the Home Counties. Like giant treasure chests brimming with fine art collections, these mansions tell the tales of years gone by. We delve into the fascinating society stories of these magnificent places, including Highclere Castle, setting of the much-loved Downton Abbey TV series and feature film. We also experience the fascinating Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village and stunning Loseley Park house and gardens on this glorious getaway.
