Downton Castle, Grade I listed country house in Downton, England.
The castle stands on 5,000 acres of land with extensive gardens and parks designed according to 18th-century landscape principles by Capability Brown.
The estate traces its origins to 749 when an Anglo-Saxon king granted the land to the Bishops of Winchester, with documentation in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The architecture combines Victorian and Italian Renaissance elements, featuring grand state rooms, ornate decorations, and period furnishings that reflect English aristocratic traditions.
Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours, attend seasonal events, and participate in themed activities throughout the main tourist season from spring to autumn.
The castle houses an Egyptian exhibition displaying artifacts connected to the 5th Earl of Carnarvon's involvement in the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
