Last night, British TV series “Downton Abbey” aired it’s final episode.

And while we may have seen the last of the Crawley family, fans of the show can now celebrate the show’s birthplace by hopping on the 9-day tour of England courtesy of Insight Vacations.

“This March, Insight Vacations, a leading purveyor of luxury travel will take guests on a 9-day whirlwind tour of the Grantham universe.”

Departing from multiple Canadian destinations on March 28th, the itinerary includes a trip to Highclere Castle, otherwise known as ‘Downton Abbey,’ as well as numerous locations where the show was filmed, like The Swan Inn, where Lady Sybil and Branson eloped, St. Mary’s Church, the village pub, the Library, and Matthew Crawley’s House.

For those who enjoyed the show but also want to see some other iconic British things, the trip also includes stops in Oxford, Bristol, Bath, Stonehenge and London.

“In London, fans can relive tense moments with Anna retracing Bates’ movements in the city and the steps that Edith takes when she discovers she is expecting Gregson’s baby! They will also see where Cora and art historian Simon Bricker admired the paintings of Piero della Francesca, stand outside the Crawley’s London residence, and see the restaurant where Edith dined with Gregson.”

Currently, this is the only departure date planned for this trip so interested Downtoners shouldn’t wait to jump on this opportunity. Tours start at $3,870 per person – flights not included.
