Highclere Castle, Country mansion in Hampshire, England
The Victorian-style residence features Jacobethan architecture with towers, turrets, and grand state rooms spread across 2,000 acres of parkland.
Charles Barry designed the current building between 1839 and 1842, transforming an earlier house that stood on medieval foundations from Winchester bishops.
The mansion gained worldwide recognition as the primary filming location for the television series Downton Abbey from 2010 to 2015.
Visitors can access three different ticket options: castle and gardens, Egyptian exhibition and gardens, or gardens only, with morning or afternoon time slots.
The fifth Earl of Carnarvon funded the expedition that discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, leading to an Egyptian artifacts collection within the castle.
