Overview

Learn about the lives and love interests of the fictional Crawley family on a full-day 'Downton Abbey' filming location tour! Depart from London and travel to the county of Oxfordshire to explore villages such as Cogges, Bampton and Swinbrook where the British period TV drama has been filmed. In the afternoon, tour Blenheim Palace — a UNESCO site not used in the series but magnificent nonetheless — for an insight into the daily lives of upper-crust English aristocracy.

Itinerary

  • N/A

    Filmed mostly in and around Oxfordshire, the British period drama of Downton Abbey documents the dramas and scandals of the fictional Crawley family and their servants in the days leading up to and after World War I. Hear insider gossip about characters such as Lady Mary, and discover little-known facts about the shooting locations included on your tour. Stop at a farm nestled in the hills near Cogges and enjoy a hot drink (own expense) in the farm’s rustic cafe before you check out filming locations around the farm.

    1 hour

  • Bampton Library

    Continue to Bampton in the Cotswolds. The stone cottages and leafy, twisting streets in this quintessential English village might look familiar; scenes depicting the Downton village are often shot here and appear throughout the entire series. On a walking tour, see the village church — the site of Lady Mary’s wedding to Matthew Crawley — and the house that was once used as the Crawley family home. Stroll along the main street, spotting shops and the fictional Grantham Arms pub that appear in many episodes.

    1 hour

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Travel onward to the historical village of Shilton to explore its center, including a quaint village pub that is surrounded by ponds, medieval bridges and wells. From Shilton, we will travel to the Swan Inn at Swinbrook for a photo stop, where Lady Sybil eloped with the family chauffeur Branson.

  • Blenheim Palace

    While not used as a Downton Abbey filming location, one can imagine the palace's stately grandeur that would impress the Crawley family. Take a walking tour that delves into the history of Winston Churchill's ancestral home, originally given to the first duke of Marlborough as a gift from the English Parliament. Wander through the State Apartments, and then explore a section of the beautiful landscaped gardens that feature the Temple of Diana. Finally, return to your minivan and travel back to London where your tour finishes.

Great guide!

Published on May, 2024

Amber was a great guide! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. She clearly loves to give tours. Just the right amount of info and “guiding” and plenty of time on our own. Locations were all beautiful too! It was a fun Downton day

Published on May, 2024

The tour is a must for Downton Abbey fans. Even my non Downton Abbey fan husband really enjoyed the experience. Amber, our guide, possesses a wealth of knowledge about far more than Downton and Churchill. Between stops, she kept a running commentary going of interesting facts and humor. Thank you Amber for a wonderful day!
