2019 April – Highclere

586-20190415a.JPG

We enjoyed a morning visiting Highclere 270-20190415c.JPGCastle the home of Lord and Lady Carnarvon but better known to most as Downton Abbey.  Although the village associated with the TV series is Bampton in Oxfordshire, the ‘big house’ is in fact located in Berkshire.  It was fun to see the rooms that were shown in the series – they all seemed much smaller than on the TV.  We had got there early and thoroughly enjoyed a quiet walk around the grounds before visiting the house. By the time we left the whole place was packed with visitors!
