Greys Court
A large picnic with all the members of the Crawley family was shot at this 16th Century mansion, among other remarkable scenes. Visit this intimate family home, admire the tranquil gardens and feel at home thanks to its cozy atmosphere. After the tour, why not parking up at the stunning surroundings of Henley-on-Thames and enjoy your own picnic on board you campervan?
The Costwolds
This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Oxforshire is home to several major scenes of the show, including the secret idyll of Lady Sybil and her chauffeur, Branson. From the quaint village of Swinbrook to the picturesque Bampton, home of Downton Village, explore this jaw-dropping area at your ease thanks to the freedom of your camper!
Lincoln Castle
Drive your camper northwards and reach Lincoln Castle, better known as the prison where John Bates was locked up for murder in Season Three. The castle hosts some historical documents, such as the Lincoln Magna Carta or the Charter of Forest, both dating back to the 13th Century.
