We had a lazy day in London and came home via the famous Borough Food Markets where we ate more than we needed to.

A one hour train trip to Newbury and a 10K taxi ride took us to Highclere Castle, the location where Downton Abbey was filmed. It has a fascinating 1300 year history and was home to the 5th Earl of Carnarvon who co-discovered Tutankhamun's tomb.

 The Castle on the 1000 acre estate has vast surrounding gardens full of magnificent trees

and beautiful gardens. The inside of the castle was also amazing but no photos allowed. It was a wonderful day out.
