Highclere Castle is an historic house with a notable history.
In the 1860s, the 4th Earl drafted the British North America Act of 1867 which led to the foundation of the present-day nation of Canada in 1867 at the castle.
In 1922, the 5th Earl discovered Tutankhamun's tomb with Howard Carter.
More recently, it has been used as a filming location for the British comedy series Jeeves and Wooster and the award-winning period drama Downton Abbey.
The Castle provides a location for private, public and charity events throughout the year.
