THE REAL DOWNTON ABBEY (& We return to one of our favourite places)// Happy Wednesday, A bit unusual to publish a video today but because we only returned from our work trip on Monday night, I needed 2 days to edit the video but here you go!
If you ever wondered about the real Downton Abbey, you might be pleased to hear that it exists in Yorkshire where the popular period drama is set. Highclere Castle in the South of England was used for the TV series but it's actually Newby Hall that shows incredible similarities to Downton Abbey. Not only is Newby Hall set in Yorkshire with Ripon, Thirsk, York or Skipton nearby. All of these locations are mentioned in Downton Abbey. There was even a Lord Grantham in the 1800s at Newby Hall who had a daughter called Lady Mary. Fascinating!
After a stop in Yorkshire, we headed further North to Northumberland. Some of you might remember when we visited Cragside, one of our favourite National Trust properties, last year. This time we wanted to return for the rhododendron bloom. Cragside is a beautiful Victorian country house and was the home of Lord and Lady Armstrong. In fact Cragside was the first house worldwide to be lit by hydroelectricity. Lord Armstrong had millions of trees planted in Cragside with stunning lakes so that the landscape very much reminds of parts in Germany. We hope you enjoy the video. Kirsten & Joerg
