Highlights
London is so amazing but hectic, so why not have a relaxing day in the English Countryside instead, visiting The Cotswolds & beyond, on a Downton Abbey themed tour. We visit Highclere Castle, grounds & gardens, home of Lord & Lady Grantham, Lady Mary & the Dowager (CASTLE/GARDEN TICKETS ARE NOT INCLUDED & MUST BE PURCHASED BY CLIENT) We then tour the beautiful Cotswold villages & countryside that Downton Abbey brought to our screens in both TV & film & is a truly remarkable place. We stop at shops, churches, market squares, thatched cottages, village halls, cricket greens & rose gardens. Lunch can be taken in an Old English Pub where you can relax, eating perhaps fish n chips or some local ales? Or we can take you to a very English Garden tea shop … the choice is both yours & endless! The afternoon is then spent driving through more countryside & villages, chauffeured by your very own 'Branson', before returning to your own place of residence whilst listening to music of your choice.

You will see the interior & grounds where the Grantham’s lived & where so much of the Downton drama played out. TICKETS AVAILABLE VIA HIGHCLERE CASTLE WEBSITE.
Visit the quaint hamlet of Shilton, which is the picture postcard location of where Mr Bates was brought back to Downton when the unsavoury murder charge was levelled at him by his wife. Complete with ford, gardens & architecture. this is a truly lovely stop.
We seek out the most romantic pub in The Cotswolds where Tom Branson & Lady Sybil eloped to❤️. Swinbrook is, in itself, a lovely village & we can visit the pub and gardens too, for a an ale, wine or coffee.
