Considering a Visit to Highclere Castle?

May 8, 2013

Anyone planning a visit to Highclere Castle, the place where Downton Abbey was filmed, should visit the castle on a Sunday through Thursday before Sept. 12. Highclere Castle is closed for the rest of the year after that date. See http://www.highclerecastle.co.uk/visiting-us/opening-times.html.


Site Description

For the second year running, this beautiful holiday park will be the site for the Feast of Tabernacles in Britain. It is set in 100 acres of delightful, landscaped parkland—the perfect setting to enjoy the Feast and explore the rural surroundings.

The park is near the coast at Milford on Sea in Hampshire and just three miles from New Forest National Park, home to ponies and deer. Nearby towns include Bournemouth, Southampton and Portsmouth. London is two hours away.

Possible Tours

Among the potential trips are visits to Stonehenge, Portsmouth (HMS Victory), Jane Austen’s home, Winchester and the Beaulieu car museum.
