Stately homes · South East England
Stately homes you've seen on screen
Highclere (Downton), Wilton (The Crown), Castle Howard (Brideshead).
British stately homes have starred in some of the most-watched drama of the past 20 years: Highclere as Downton Abbey, Wilton as Buckingham Palace in The Crown, Castle Howard as Brideshead, Chatsworth as Pemberley, and Hatfield as the bachelor pad in countless period adaptations. Visiting them is a kind of secular pilgrimage.
