Samenvatting:

Join Lady Carnarvon as she exclusively reveals into the daily rhythms, seasonal changes and timeless traditions of one of Britain’s most iconic stately homes.

Built in a bygone era, Highclere Castle and its surrounding five-thousand-acre estate is a place steeped in history both within its walls and verdant landscapes. From the grandeur of Victorian architecture to the whispers of Anglo-Saxon roots, the estate's sweeping ground encapsulate a rich British heritage. Lady Carnarvon shares tales of past residents, from Lady Almina's legendary 1920s parties to the enigmatic ghosts that roam the halls of the castle.

With the passing months and seasons, Lady Carnarvon reveals what it truly means to live and work in this extraordinary home. From gardening, entertaining, exploring the outdoors with their eight dogs to opening the gates to a film crew — for many weeks and seasons — culminating in the latest Downton Abbey film.

Highclere is where history, royalty, nature and community weave together — enchanting its residents, staff and guests.
