A typical trip to Italy might encompass visits to Rome, Venice or the beautiful seaside town of Florence.

This post was written by guest travel blogger Lance M. Burris – from Plainfield, Indiana.

With a light dusting of winter snow on the ground, we drove west on Interstate route 70 from Indianapolis with a destination of Bowling Green, Indiana and a taste of medieval bed and breakfast.  We, my wife Nancy and I along with another couple, Scott and Debbie, were to be the “inaugural” guests for the Clayshire Castle slated to open mid-May 2013.

Visit Downton Abbey when in London – Tours to Highclere Castle

Downton Abbey Highclere Castle - London - Google Map

If you’re a “Downton Abbey” fan (and we are big time), you won’t want to miss seeing the “real Downton Abbey” the next time you visit London. Highclere Castle is the real-life inspiration and setting for the popular Emmy-award winning show.  Since 1679, the Carnarvon family have lived in the castle (keep a lookout for the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon when you visit). The beautiful Victorian castle is located in Hampshire about 90 minutes (depending on traffic) from London (see Google map) – after watching the TV show, we were curious exactly where Downton Abbey was located in relation to London, so we added the map with the castle location highlighted.

Highclere Castle is open to the public for only a few days each month.

Here are three options to see Downton Abbey: Group Tour, Private Tour or Self-Guided Tour (rent a car and drive yourself):
