  2. Introduction As a "Downton Abbey" fan, you must have imagined yourself walking through the elegant halls and lovely gardens of the Crawley family house. The adored British TV show, which is set in the early 20th century, managed to hook the viewers with its interesting characters, exciting plotlines, and beautiful locations. However, are you aware that the most famous scenes in the show were filmed in actual places across the UK? Let's set off on an adventure to visit some of the best "Downton Abbey" filming locations.

  3. Downton Abbey Filming Locations Downton Abbey, a British television series that is loved by many, has captivated audiences both in the UK and all over the world by drawing them into the story of the aristocratic Crawley family taking place in their country home, filmed at Highclere Castle. The series, which is known for its iconic storyline and star-studded cast, uses a rich variety of stunning locations, one of which is Alnwick Castle. After a day of exploring, you can retreat to one of the affordable hotels in Kensington, conveniently located near other key attractions in London.

  4. Highclere Castle, Hampshire, England The overwhelmingness of Highclere Castle beats in the breast of the show as it is the face of Downton Abbey. Since the mid-1600s, it has been a residence, currently hosting the 8th Earl of Carnarvon, and there is a long fascinating history behind it. Many tours of England make this a stop on their itineraries. The estate is kept open for visitors at certain times of the year. You can imagine yourself as an authentic British aristocrat while you either sip tea in the garden or admire the Egyptian artifacts on exhibition.

  5. Bampton, Oxfordshire Bampton, a lovely village in Oxfordshire, is visually and thematically, the same place as the fictional village of Downton. Walk around the streets and you will surely recognize such characteristic places as St. Mary's Church, which became the scene of many major events, and Churchgate House, which was the exterior of Isobel Crawley's home. Downton Village's library now repurposed as Downton Cottage Hospital, and the old Grammar School, which became the post office, are also essential stops for any fan. Respectively, the Bampton library lent its name to Downton Cottage Hospital, and the Grammar School became the post office. You can also read: Top UNESCO World Heritage Sites to Visit in London

  6. Inverary Castle, Scotland Inveraray Castle, a historical structure situated in the western parts of Scotland, is the main filming location of the 2012 Christmas Special, "A Journey to the Highlands." This magnificent castle was used as a set for the fictional Duneagle Castle, the home of Rose's parents, Susan, and Hugh MacClare, in the film. The castle's distinctive architecture and exceptional environment make it an amazing place to visit. Within the castle, visitors will discover a remarkable exhibition of artifacts, including ammunition, pictures, and documents, as well as family treasures.

  7. Basildon Park, Berkshire Basildon Park's graceful style in Berkshire has served as the site for the interiors of Grantham House in London, where the Crawley family used to stay during their visits to the city. With its exquisite rooms and lavish décor, the 18th-century mansion made the perfect substitute for the Grantham family's London residence. Visitors may see the house that has been stunningly renovated, enjoy walks through the lovely parkland, and also view the surrounding area. Pair your visit with accommodation near Royal Albert Hall, offering a luxurious stay within reach of London’s cultural scene.
