Immerse yourself in its old-world charm as you view iconic spots like Isobel Crawley's home and the Downton Cottage Hospital. Soon after, Bourton-on-the-Water awaits, often referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' due to its picturesque river bisecting the village. Here, indulge in a traditional afternoon tea or meander along the River Windrush. Upgrade your tickets for the pièce de résistance, and entry into Blenheim Palace, which introduces you to its opulent State Rooms and vast parkland. Not just an architectural marvel, it's the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
