Overview
London is so amazing but hectic, so why not have a relaxing day in the English Countryside instead, visiting The Cotswolds & beyond, on a Downton Abbey themed tour.
We visit Highclere Castle, grounds & gardens, home of Lord & Lady Grantham, Lady Mary & the Dowager (CASTLE/GARDEN TICKETS ARE NOT INCLUDED & MUST BE PURCHASED BY CLIENT)
We then tour the beautiful Cotswold villages & countryside that Downton Abbey brought to our screens in both TV & film & is a truly remarkable place.
We stop at shops, churches, market squares, thatched cottages, village halls, cricket greens & rose gardens.
Lunch can be taken in an Old English Pub where you can relax, eating perhaps fish n chips or some local ales?
Or we can take you to a very English Garden tea shop … the choice is both yours & endless!
The afternoon is then spent driving through more countryside & villages, chauffeured by your very own 'Branson', before returning to your own place of residence whilst listening to music of your choice.
