Private Downton Abbey Tour

Step into the world of Downton Abbey on a private tour from London to Highclere Castle, the magnificent Hampshire estate known worldwide as the real Downton Abbey.

Travel into the English countryside for a carefully curated visit to one of Britain’s most celebrated country houses. With an experienced guide, discover the State Rooms and interiors made famous by Downton Abbey while also exploring the remarkable real history of Highclere Castle and the Carnarvon family.

Carsons Travel Concierge can tailor the experience around your stay in London, with a private chauffeured перевод from your hotel and additional Downton Abbey filming locations arranged upon request.

Discover the Real Downton Abbey at Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle is the principal filming location for Downton Abbey and has appeared throughout the television series and films. Beyond its screen history, however, Highclere remains a remarkable English country estate and the home of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon.

The present castle was transformed in the 19th century by Sir Charles Barry, the architect responsible for the Дома Парламента in London. Inside, you can discover the grand State Rooms familiar from Downton Abbey, while the surrounding parkland and gardens offer another perspective on life at this historic estate.

Your private Highclere Castle tour combines the world of Downton Abbey with the architecture, art, family stories and social history behind the real house.

What You Can Experience on a Private Downton Abbey Tour

During your visit, discover:

• Highclere Castle, the real-life setting of Downton Abbey
• The State Rooms and interiors seen throughout the series
• The history of the Carnarvon family and their Hampshire estate
• Highclere’s gardens and historic parkland
• Stories connecting the real castle with the fictional world of Downton Abbey
• The Egyptian Exhibition, when available with the selected admission
• Additional Downton Abbey filming locations, which can be incorporated into a tailored itinerary upon request

Highclere Castle Beyond Downton Abbey

Highclere’s story reaches far beyond its role on screen.

The estate has centuries of history, while the present castle was created in the 19th century by Sir Charles Barry. Its surrounding parkland was shaped by celebrated landscape architect Capability Brown.

Highclere also has an extraordinary connection with ancient Egypt. The 5th Earl of Carnarvon worked alongside archaeologist Howard Carter and helped finance the excavation that led to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. Today, the castle’s Egyptian Exhibition explores this fascinating chapter of the family’s history.

This combination of British aristocratic heritage, architecture, landscape, archaeology and film history makes a private Highclere Castle tour particularly rewarding even for guests whose interest extends beyond Downton Abbey.
