What To Expect

Cogges Manor Farm

Cogges Manor Farm doubles up as Yew Tree Farm in Downton Abbey. Originally home to Mr and Mrs Drew, who take in Lady Edith's illegitimate daughter Marigold, Yew Tree Farm is now in the hands of Daisy's father-in-law Mr Mason.

Seen throughout series 4, 5 and 6 of Downton Abbey this location is very close to all our guides hearts (if we're honest it's most of our guides favourite place on this tour) and plays a major part in Lady Edith's storyline.

When at Cogges you will be shown around the Manor farm by our expert guide, be taken to the rooms and grounds used throughout Downton Abbey, and told the history of Cogges Manor Farm. You will also have time to watch Cogge's own behind the scenes Downton documentary all about filming at the farm and enjoy, should you wish, some of the light refreshments available.

After exploring Cogges your guide will take you for a drive to some of the lesser-known Downton Abbey locations before driving you to the beautiful village of Bampton.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Swinbrook is home to the Swan Pub, one of the best pubs in the country. Sadly due to time limits on the tour, we are unable to stop here for any length of time, but it's still worth a visit as this is the pub that Branson and Lady Sybil elope to in series 2. It also has aristocratic links of its own, having been a favourite of the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (the late Deborah Cavendish, nee Freeman-Mitford) who grew up in the nearby Asthall.

Bampton

Bampton is Downton Village!

Seen throughout the 6 series and 1 film of Downton Abbey, many of us can walk through Bampton's filming locations with our eyes closed, thanks to how many times we have seen our favourite characters walk its streets. Home to the village hospital (in reality, the local library and a visitor centre which we will visit as part of the tour), the local church (where Lady Mary marries both Matthew, and Henry Talbot, and where Edith is both jilted at the altar and marries the man of her dreams - Bertie Pelham), Crawley house where Matthew and his mother Isabell live, and of course the Grantham Arms and Dog and Duck Pubs - which are actually private, not public houses - Bampton is a place like no other.

While in the village your guide will tell you all about the filming for Downton Abbey, how the local community has responded with being constantly flooded with tourist from across the world and will assist you in taking as many Downton themed photos as you can.

Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle is famous throughout the world as the real Downton Abbey. Used as one of the filming locations for the hit TV series and film, this gorgeous stately home is a must-see for any fan of the series, or anyone who is interested in exploring one of the most beautiful stately homes in England. Currently home to the 8th Earl of Carnarvon and his family, the house is open for a limited period every year throughout the spring and summer. Upon arrival at Highclere, your guide will secure your entry to the House, Grounds. Once inside the house, you will be able to view the rooms on the ground floor, and first-floor levels all of which are seen in Downton Abbey. Finally, you will have time to explore the stunning grounds before returning home.

Downton Abbey Fans Will Love This Tour

David, our guide was excellent. He picked us up right on time and we didn’t have to get up early to go to a meeting place. I loved that he played the theme music from Downton Abbey as we entered the driveway and he showed us some scenes on his iPad to refresh our memories. Highly recommended tour.

Dewi Evans was the best tour guide for Downton Abbey. He didn't just take you on the tour he was a wealth of information. By the end of the trip you felt like you gained a friend.

Dewi did it

Our tour guide Dewi was very knowledgeable about the whole tour. We learned things we wouldn't of if there were many people.
