The 5,000-acre estate is in Hampshire, England, about 5 miles south of Newbury, Berkshire and 9.5 miles north of Andover, Hampshire. It is the country seat of the Earl of Carnarvon, a branch of the Anglo-Welsh Herbert family.
  Highclere Castle has been used as a filming location for several films and television series, including 1990s comedy series Jeeves and Wooster, and achieved international fame as the main location for the historical drama series Downton Abbey and the 2019 film based on it.
  The house, Egyptian exhibition, and gardens are open to the public for self-guided tours during the summer months and at other times during the rest of the year, such as Christmas and Easter. The house also holds ticketed events, such as the Battle Proms picnic concert, and special guided tours throughout the year.
