[Before visiting Highclere Castle, make sure to do your research]

As I stepped into Highclere Castle, I felt a deep sense of regret... regret for not having visited this iconic filming location of "Downton Abbey" sooner! The grandeur of the castle, the elegance of the gardens, and the Edwardian-era afternoon tea were all captivating! Walking around the castle, I felt like a noble character from the show, experiencing the aristocratic lifestyle. It was truly wonderful! 🏰[Must-visit spots at the castle]: 1.
