Experience the best of British countryside and film history

Step into the world of Downton Abbey

Relax as you travel by comfortable coach from London into the heart of Oxfordshire’s famous Cotswolds. Your first stop is Cogges Manor Farm, transformed into “Yew Tree Farm” in Downton Abbey. Here, encounter rare British farm animals and wander through authentic kitchens and stables featured in the show. Learn how life in the countryside inspired the series, and snap photos for your own keepsake album.

Continue to Bampton, the instantly recognisable village from Downton Abbey. Stroll past St. Mary’s Church – the setting of weddings and memorable scenes – and pause by Mrs Crawley’s house and the former cottage hospital. Your guide brings the local stories and filming secrets to life, sharing anecdotes from the making of the show as you explore the cobbled streets.

Discover the charm of the Cotswolds

Wind through picturesque Cotswold villages and rolling hills. Stop for a photo at Shilton, capturing the classic English countryside. Enjoy a break for lunch in Woodstock – a historic market town known for its quaint atmosphere and excellent eateries. Recharge before the afternoon’s grand palace visit.

Marvel at Blenheim Palace‘s grandeur

Spend your afternoon exploring the opulence of Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Tour the state rooms, marvel at intricate architecture and period decor, and visit the famous Sir Winston Churchill Exhibition for an in-depth look at his extraordinary life. Literature and film fans may also recognise the palace from Bridgerton, Spectre, and even Harry Potter. Stroll manicured gardens and admire the impressive exterior that has inspired filmmakers for decades.
