A Year At Highclere: Secrets and Stories from the Real Downton Abbey

Brought to you by Penguin.

Join Lady Carnarvon as she reveals untold stories from past residents of Highclere Castle and an intimate glimpse into the daily rhythms and timeless traditions of one of Britain's most iconic stately homes.


Built in a bygone era, Highclere Castle and its surrounding five-thousand-acre estate is a place where history breathes through its walls and verdant landscapes. From the grandeur of Victorian architecture to the whispers of Anglo-Saxon roots, every stone and tree has a story to tell throughout its sweeping grounds.

Lady Carnarvon shares tales of past residents, from Lady Almina's legendary 1920s parties to the enigmatic ghosts that roam the halls of the castle.

With the passing months and seasons, Lady Carnarvon reveals what it truly means to live and work in this extraordinary home. From gardening, entertaining, exploring the outdoors with their nine dogs and opening the gates to a film crew for a whole month for the final Downton Abbey film.

Highclere is where history, nature, and community weave together in a tapestry as rich as the castle itself.
