A historic medieval borough, set in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside south of Salisbury. Minutes away from the New Forest, half an hour from the coast, on the fringes of Cranborne Chase.
Why the "real" Downton? The name of our village was the source of the name for Downton Abbey TV series and movie. We don't have an abbey, but we have plenty of other things to see and do.

Breamore House

Breamore House is an Elizabethan manor house completed in 1853 and noted for its fine collection of paintings and furniture. It is situated just outside Breamore village which is 3 miles south of Downton. Though it remains in private hands, it is open to visitors from April to October.
It’s a short drive from Downton south on the A338 towards Fordingbridge, or take the X3 bus. Alternatively, it’s a relatively flat cycle ride from Downton via Moot Lane and Woodgreen village along the River Avon. This route includes a chance to visit the church at Hale village, the picturesque Breamore Mill and the old Breamore railway station. Refreshments on route are available from the award winning community shop at Woodgreen and the Bat and Ball village pub at Breamore, as well as the cafe at Breamore House
