Downton Abbey Tours from London
Written by Zoe Smith, United Kingdom, December 2012
The Crawleys are back in prim and proper style this January, as Britain’s favorite period drama, Downton Abbey, finally hits US screens for its third season, and it seems America just can’t get enough of Edwardian-era England. So get your top hats and teacups at the ready, because visitors to London can now add Downton Abbey tours to their itineraries.
Lady Mary, Cousin Matthew and Lord Grantham might be the lead characters in the award-winning drama but Downton Abbey itself is the breakout star, with the magnificent 1,000-acre estate that features onscreen steadily building its own fan base. The location for the majority of filming, both interior and exterior, is Highclere Castle, a 19th century historic home in Hampshire.
