Clarkson’s Farm & Downton Abbey Filming Locations

Experience the best of the English countryside with a unique tour that blends two starkly different yet equally beloved TV shows—Clarkson’s Farm and Downton Abbey. While one celebrates the rugged reality of modern farming, the other transports us to a refined world of aristocratic grandeur, yet both highlight England’s rich cultural heritage and countryside charm. On this exclusive day tour, you’ll journey through the heart of the Cotswolds, discovering hidden gems, historic landmarks, and iconic filming locations from these two hit series. From Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop to Bampton, the real-life Downton Village, this experience offers an unforgettable glimpse into two contrasting yet captivating aspects of rural England.

We’ll make our way to Clarkson’s Farmshop—Diddly Squat Farm Shop, an attraction that has taken the Cotswolds by storm. Here, you can browse the farm’s own produce and locally sourced goods, from the famed “Cow Juice” milk to “Gin in a Tin.”

We shift from modern farming to period drama as we step into the world of Downton Abbey. You’ll visit the village of Bampton, the real-life setting for Downton Village, where you’ll see key filming locations such as the village pub, Downton Hospital, and St. Mary’s Church (Downton Abbey’s church). Explore Cogges Manor Farm, featured in the series many times, and visit the charming villages of Shilton and Swinbrook, which also appeared in the show. Along the way, we’ll take in other Cotswold highlights, including the stunning town of Burford, the village of Filkins, and a stop at the Cotswold Woollen Weavers Museum, where you’ll learn about the region’s centuries-old wool trade and shop for beautifully crafted English wool products. Opt for lunch at Clarksons nearby country pub, or even Hawkstone Brewery & Arms, Clarkson’s very own tented pub, or one of the many traditional Cotswold pubs can be visited too. If time allows we could visit the charming market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, or one of the country's finest farmshops at Daylesford Organics to finish the day.

Combining two vastly different yet equally captivating stories of life in the English countryside, this tour offers something for everyone—whether you’re a fan of Jeremy Clarkson’s no-nonsense farming adventures or the elegant drama of Downton Abbey. With expert local guides, exclusive insights, and a perfectly balanced itinerary, the Clarkson’s Farm & Downton Abbey Filming Locations Tour is the ultimate way to explore England’s countryside.
