On your private tour, you will:
This is a must-see tour for Downton Abbey enthusiasts and a truly delightful day trip from London in the comfort and spaciousness of an iconic Black Cab. Explore many filming locations on a drive around the Cotswolds - considered England's most beautiful and quintessential countryside. It is famous for its honey-coloured limestone houses, thatched cottages, sheep farming, and truly gorgeous countryside.
Many period dramas have been filmed in Cotswold villages, including the movie 1917, and although the fictional Downton Abbey is set in Yorkshire, much of it was filmed in the southern Cotswolds counties of Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire.
On this private, full-day trip from London in a Black Cab you'll enter the fictional world of the Crawley family and Downton by stepping into the real-life filming locations of this world-famous, era-defining, multiple award-winning TV series, starring Maggie Smith as the intimidating yet hilarious Dowager Countess, Hugh Bonneville as the diffident Lord Grantham, Michelle Dockery as the sarcastic Lady Mary, and Jo Froggatt in her award-winning role as her maid - as well as a host of other stars.
Your expert driver-guide will ensure you have plenty of time to thoroughly explore these stunning historic locations including the lovely market town of Bampton which doubles up as Downton. Enjoy a guided tour through its streets and alleyways, stopping in at the Church where poor Lady Edith was jilted! Step inside the charming Swinbrook Pub where Lady Sibyl and Bransom plotted their elopement, (also made famous by the Mitford sisters).
See other villages like Shilton, Burford, and Cogges where various scenes were filmed, and enjoy breathtakingly beautiful drives around the Cotswolds before the return drive to your London hotel.
