Highclere Castle
The real-life Downton Abbey is about six miles south of Newbury’s town centre, nestled amid the splendour of the North Wessex Downs AONB.
Book a tour to see the principal state rooms used as filming sites for Downton Abbey, and see the Egyptian Exhibition in the former servant quarters, which commemorates the 5th Earl of Carnarvon’s discovery of Tutankhamun.
