Downton Abbey

Popular ITV series Downton Abbey was filmed in Hampshire at the Highclere Castle estate to the north of the county.

The drama follows the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants at a fictional Yorkshire estate called Downton Abbey (Highclere Castle). The series was first set in the post-Edwardian era and charts the trials and tribulations of its characters through to the 1920s.

Having spent around fifty days a year shooting Downton Abbey at Hampshire's Highclere Castle, I have seen what the county has to offer. With its good transport links, spectacular scenery and great locations it really is a joy to film in the area.

Visit Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle is the home of Lord and Lady Carnarvon, and is located on the Hampshire/Berkshire border. The estate spans 1000 acres and has been home to the Carnarvon family since 1679.

The Castle was transformed in to a hospital during the First World War and was briefly a home for evacuee children during the Second World War. In 1922 the 5th Earl of Carnarvon discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb and today visitors can learn more about this exciting discovery at Highclere’s Egyptian Exhibition.

The Castle is open to visitors at selected times of the year.
