After boarding your air-conditioned coach at Victoria Coach Station you'll head out of London towards the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill at Blenheim Palace.

You'll be able to enter the stunning State Rooms (if option selected), admire the magnificent tapestries and priceless works of art, and then walk around the beautiful gardens.

After that you'll drive through the charming Cotswolds and stop at the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water, famous for its gently-flowing river and many attractive bridges.

Your day will end with a visit to the village of Bampton -- the setting for many of the locations featured in Downton Abbey. You'll see the building which became the home of Isobel Crawley, the local church, the Downton Cottage Hospital, and two of its fictional pubs -- The Grantham Arms and Dog & Duck.

Note: The tour does not include a visit to Downton Abbey itself (Highclere Castle).
