Downton Abbey or Highclere Castle

We watch a lot of Masterpiece - both classic and mystery. Yesterday I wrote about Sherlock Holmes telephone booth near St. Bartholomew's Hospital in downtown London. I ran in to someone at work when the subject if Downton Abbey was raised. I mentioned we had visited Highclere Castle last summer. We were visiting friends in England, met more friends from here while there, and traversed a good section of the country. One of our stops included this site used for filming Downton Abbey. We weren't allowed to take any photos inside the house, so we didn't. But we did see all the rooms typically found in the show. It was generally interesting, but not very inspiring. But I can say that every time we see the opening credits for the show that we were there, walked through the front door, and got a feel for the place. It always looks much better in pictures!
