If you're a fan of Downton Abbey then how about a day trip to Highclere Castle, where the popular TV show was filmed?

This 9-hour tour will set off from London in an air-conditioned coach filled with fellow Downton Abbey fans, whilst your guide sits at the front sharing stories and behind-the-scenes info as you go.

After driving through the Oxfordshire countryside your first stop will be at the Cotswolds village of Bampton, which is the setting for Downton's pretty village in the show. A guided walk will then take you past familiar sights such as the village green, church, post office, pub and Matthew's house.

Then it's back on the coach for the ride to Highclere Castle, where you will be given 3 hours of free time to explore the above stairs rooms where so much of the drama took place (the downstairs kitchens were filmed on a set in London).
