Your day starts when your registered tour guide collects you from your hotel and drives you out into the Oxfordshire countryside. As you pass through London your guide will stop and show you a selection of the Downton London locations. The exact locations will depend on where you are staying in London, but don’t worry you will see the rest when you return late afternoon.

Arriving in the Cotswold’s mid-morning we will stop at the small village that became (Kirbymoorside) where Anna’s bus splashes through the stream outside the pub where Bates worked. We will also visit the pub where Branson and Lady Sybil stay when they elope in Series 2.

The star attraction of the morning will be visiting the Cotswold village that became the village of Downton. Your guide will give you a tour of the village, where you will see the exteriors of familiar sites such as Downton hospital, the village pubs, the former home of Matthew Crawley and the local church, where all the weddings and funerals took place. We will visit inside the church (providing the church has no services on) There will be time for you to explore the village for yourself as well.

You can enjoy lunch at the Yew Tree Farm from the series before returning to London. The farm was used as the home of Mr Drewe, the tenant who agrees to help raise Lady Edith’s daughter without anyone knowing. Lunch is in the farms main eating area and then your guide will give you a private tour of the grounds and the locations.

Arriving back in London we carry on viewing the London Locations. Besides the film sites you will see how the rich would shop, relax, dine and live.
