You will see the interior and grounds where the Grantham’s lived & where so much of the Downton drama played out. -
Stop 2 · 2h
Follow a scenic route through the Cotswolds beginning in the quaint hamlet of Shilton, a picture-perfect village known as the spot where Mr. Bates was brought back to Downton after the troubling murder accusation by his wife. With its charming ford, manicured gardens, and timeless architecture, it’s a truly delightful stop.
From there, continue to the idyllic village of Swinbrook, home to one of the most romantic pubs in the Cotswolds-where Tom Branson and Lady Sybil famously eloped. Enjoy time to explore the village, stroll through its gardens, and relax at the pub with an ale, a glass of wine, or a coffee. -
Stop 3 · 2h
Alongside the Downton experience, we also take time to explore the outstanding natural beauty of the Cotswolds, making the most of any remaining time. This typically allows for a leisurely lunch stop of about an hour, should you wish.
