Highclere Castle – Downton Abbey
Where: Highclere Park, Highclere, Newbury RG20 9RN England
There are so many amazing stately homes around England that act as movie locations in TV shows and films. But there’s one that’s warmed our hearts more than any other within the last decade or so. Highclere Castle was the Downton Abbey and home of the well-to-do Crawley family. Though the castle isn’t open all the time because it’s actually someone’s real-life home (I’m not jealous…), visiting the castle is a must-do for TV fans.
Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Keith, Cathy, Sara, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.

It is a beautiful building. We visited there many years ago before it became famous as Downton Abbey.
I would love to see this in person. I loved the show. 🙂
How regal is this. Must be gorgeous inside too.
I’d get lost if I were to live here. 😉
Another unique share dearest Sandee. <3
Hugs xoxo
It was one of the best shows we’ve watched. I would love to explore this castle. Hugs, Natasha. 🙂
Many years ago when I worked for Citroën, I co-hosted an event for our dealers there! It’s an amazing building.
Lucky you. I would love to explore this castle. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Keith. 🙂
What a wonderful castle that is. I can’t imagine living in something so large.
It’s way to big for us, but I would love to see this in person. I loved the show. 🙂
Amazing would love to go inside there and have a good nose arond heheh:-)
Have an artistictastic week Sandee and thanks for hosting 👍
Zane and I will go with you. We love nosing around. 🙂
To visit, it’s fine, to live there, hmmm, I do not think so!
Impressive look. If you’ll go there, don’t forget to tell us details.
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and light around you!❤️😘
I wouldn’t want to live there either, but I would love to explore this castle. Love and hugs, Suzana. 🙂
Such a grand beautiful castle!
It sure is, Duke. Scritches to you and a hug to your wonderful mom. 🙂
Very impurressive castle, Sandee. We loved to watch Downtown Abbey too😸😺Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead to you and Zane too🐾😽💞
Hubby and I loved that show. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Definitely very British. They have that certain style.
It is indeed. A beautiful style. 🙂
We’ll be there are some good mousies there.
I’m sure you’re right about that. Lots of them. 🙂
It is a gorgeous building. I visited there a long time ago. Happy Wednesday!
Lucky you. Happy Wednesday, Eugenia. Hugs. 🙂
Thank you,,, Sandee. Have a great day!
its a beauty..
It sure is, Sandra. Happy Wednesday. Scritches to Beau. 🙂
I would love to visit there. Too bad Carson isn’t really on duty!
I hear you. I loved that show. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I love that show. And I have a Christmas book written by the countess who lives there. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day. XO
Zane and I enjoyed the show too. It was such a wonderful adventure. You have a great day, too, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I’d never be able to find the cat if we lived there. 😉 It’s surely stunning though, outside…and I bet inside as well.
That’s true. Perhaps when they are hungry you could find them. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
It’s still strange to me that there are so many centuries old buildings in the world. The only one I ever saw was Nuremberg castle in Germany when we took a tour. Amazing!
Well, it’s Wednesday and I wish you a wonderful day. <3
Same here. They were built to last. Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. 🙂
Oh did we enjoy Downton Abbey…tremendously. TRULY THE BEST TV I’VE SEEN ALONG WITH Doc Martin.
hugs Cecilia
We loved it too and I think it’s going to return at some point. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
massive place…..I loved that show. I did not watch when it was on but I did do a binge watching thing!! lol
We loved it too. It’s a huge castle. 🙂
I never watched that show, but what a beautiful castle.
It’s well worth the watch. We enjoyed it so much. 🙂
I loved that show!
What a stunning castle, Sandee!
It certainly captures the grandeur of British stately homes.
Downton Abbey made it iconic, and visiting must feel magical.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful image.
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
We loved the show too. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
Downton Abbey is a great show, and it would be fun to visit the real castle.
It sure would. We loved that show. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Beautiful home…I like your words stately homes..they represent an iconic element of history and they still stand today..
Yes indeed, Suzette. Have a great Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
And you as well Sandee. Thanks for all the work you do hosting linkz. Cheers!
One of my favorite castles AND shows!
Same here. I loved this show. 🙂
Wow, so very cool. What a stately place. Very nice. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
It’s a most beautiful place. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
PBS ran a special showing the inside of this magnificent building and it’s charming owner. It was as wonderful to watch as the Downton Abbey series (and movies). Lovely post, Sandee.
I loved the show. A different era. Hug to you and scritches to the pups. 🙂
The staff were just the icing on the cake of that wonderful program. 💙
Thanks, Sandee, for hosting and allowing me to linkup and sharing SSPS on the list. I will be in touch tomorrow to chat further.

Great to see you. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
I’m one of those who have never watched Downton Abbey and I don’t know why, especially as a couple of my friends are huge fans. Stately, and worth visiting just for the pre-Downton history. Alana ramblinwitham
It’s a great show. Worth the watch. 🙂
Mom would love to see the inside of the castle. She loved that show and wishes there could have ben more episodes.
Woos – Misty and Timber
That makes two of us. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
I would never have guessed this was someone’s home. I’ll pass, thank you very much. lol Blessings and hugs, my dear.
I wouldn’t want to live there either. I love the home we’re in. Hugs. 🙂
I’d be afraid to live there, but it would be fun to visit.
I pray you and Mr. Zane have a blessed week. Scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeakers.
Yes fun to visit. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
It’s really old, and probably costs a fortune in repairs and taxes, and, and, oh my, no, I’m not jealous either….
I’m sure you’re right about that. I’m not jealous either. I would rather live in our home than that one. 🙂
such a majestic building ~ wow! ~
Hugs and love to you and your family from me and Ziggy ~
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

It sure is, Carol. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
That’s so amazing! We would love seeing it in person, someday. How wild that somebody lives there! 🙂
I can’t imagine living there. 🙂
I really liked that show, especially Maggie Smith’s character, she’s a funny lady. Imagine having to vacuum the floors. By the time you got the last room done it’d be time to start over again.
I hear you. 😉
Oh how we loved that family and wonderful Maggie playing the little old lady with a sharp retort for everyone…great show. LOVELY castle…hope they live in a small part, haha.
I’m sure they do. That place is huge. 🙂
Sandee, forgive me my wordless wednesday is a day late.That was a deliberate choise of mine. on look will tell all.
I loved your post and I can see why you waited a day. Perfect. 🙂
I can not imagine that a single family lived here at one. That is wild. Must be super fun to visit this castle.

I would love to explore this beautiful castle. Happy day and weekend. 🙂
I love visiting castles 😀
I would love to see this one. Happy day and weekend. 🙂
And I wouldn’t want to live there too many windows to wash. Unless someone did it for me, that’s something else.
I hear you. It’s a huge and beautiful castle. 🙂
Lovely image!
Thank you. I thought so, too. 🙂
