The Cotswold villages and the surrounding area, its towns and country estates provide the perfect locations for recent blockbuster films including the Harry Potter series, as well as many popular TV series such as Downton Abbey, Wolf Hall, Poldark and many more.
Imagine this! Stand on the very spot on which Lady Mary Crawley of ‘Downton Abbey’ got married… and Lady Edith didn’t, and then did! Or hide behind the self-same pillar that Harry and Ron used to conceal themselves from the Troll in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’! Or even, if you want, have a pint in one of Inspector Morse’s favourite boozers!
From ‘The Crown’ to ‘Peaky Blinders’ on television and from ‘Shakespeare in Love’ to ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ on the big screen, Heart of England locations have starred in numerous worldwide hits - come and experience some of them with us! Our Downton Tour, ‘the Crawley’s in the Cotswolds’ starts and finishes in Oxford and takes in up to five ‘Downton Abbey’ locations either side of lunch, which can be taken in one of the many historic inns in the area. Travelling through glorious countryside and the prettiest of villages, the tour includes time for shopping and ample time to explore Bampton - the fictional village of ‘Downton’ itself!
