Cogges Manor Farm

Cogges Manor Farm doubles up as Yew Tree Farm in Downton Abbey. Originally home to Mr and Mrs Drew, who take in Lady Edith's illegitimate daughter Marigold, Yew Tree Farm is now in the hands of Daisy's father-in-law Mr Mason.Seen throughout series 4, 5 and 6 of Downton Abbey this location is very close to all our guides hearts (if we're honest it's most of our guides favourite place on this tour) and plays a major part in Lady Edith's storyline.When at Cogges you will be shown around the Manor farm by our expert guide, be taken to the rooms and grounds used throughout Downton Abbey, and told the history of Cogges Manor Farm. You will also have time to watch Cogge's own behind the scenes Downton documentary all about filming at the farm and enjoy, should you wish, some of the light refreshments available.After exploring Cogges your guide will take you for a drive to some of the lesser-known Downton Abbey locations before driving you to the beautiful village of Bampton.

Bampton

Bampton is Downton Village!Seen throughout the 6 series and 1 film of Downton Abbey, many of us can walk through Bampton's filming locations with our eyes closed, thanks to how many times we have seen our favourite characters walk its streets. Home to the village hospital (in reality, the local library and a visitor centre which we will visit as part of the tour), the local church (where Lady Mary marries both Matthew, and Henry Talbot, and where Edith is both jilted at the altar and marries the man of her dreams - Bertie Pelham), Crawley house where Matthew and his mother Isabell live, and of course the Grantham Arms and Dog and Duck Pubs - which are actually private, not public houses - Bampton is a place like no other.While in the village your guide will tell you all about the filming for Downton Abbey, how the local community has responded with being constantly flooded with tourist from across the world and will assist you in taking as many Downton themed photos as you can.
