If the cinematic debut of Downton Abbey has you psyched, you'll love these curated travel experiences that bring its story to life
If you haven’t heard, Downton Abbey is returning this year with a cinematic debut. After ending the series with the sixth season in 2015, fans of the historical period drama have been left wanting more from the fictitious lives of the aristocratic Crawley family. Hitting the silver screens in the United Kingdom on September 13 (and unannounced yet for Thailand), the film will be a continuation of the events from the series, set in 1927.
With the fanfare surrounding the drama, we are sure many viewers will be inspired to take a trip to England and see the grandeur of the Downton Abbey estate—which is actually shot at Highclere Castle—for themselves. We round up three unique experiences that will take you into the enthralling universe of Downton Abbey.
1. The Downton Abbey Movie Tour by Zicasso
Step into the shoes of the Crawley family in this 10-day tour of England. Besides touring the filming locations of Downton Abbey at the estate of Highclere Castle as well as the Harewood House, the tailored tour offers exclusive experiences like an etiquette class instructed by a former royal butler over a lavish afternoon tea at the Ritz, and a private cooking class where you will learn the customary recipes of 1920s London. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the English countryside at Lacock village in the famous Cotswolds Hills, which also featured in the movie.
