What To Expect

Cogges Manor Farm

Cogges Farm doubles up as Yew Tree Farm, the home of Mr Drew in the hit TV series Downton Abbey. Whilst at Cogges Manor Farm you will be guided around the charming farmhouse told about this stunning community-owned property, introduced to some of the animals, including the Sandy and Black Pigs which have a surprising link to a former Prime Minister.

1 hour • Admission Included

After leaving Cogges Manor Farm, we will take in the beautiful village of Asthall which was the childhood home of the famous, and infamous, Milford sisters where you will learn about how these sisters became some of the most famous people in 20th century Britain and how they have a link to Hitler and The Dukes of Devonshire. Asthall is also home to St Nicholas Church, a stunning building that includes a local clock, and some faded, pre-reformation murals.

Truly the perfect day in the Cotswolds. I was originally on the fence about booking this tour - it’s definitely a splurge. We were celebrating my mom’s 75th birthday so we wanted a less stressful way to travel. It was perfect! Our guide, John, contacted us the day before to check in and offer to answer any questions. He arrived ahead of schedule at our hotel. He truly tailored the day for our desires. We loved all of his recommendations. It was the perfect mix of sight seeing, history, shopping, and dining at a pub. There were plenty of photo opportunities. I highly recommend this tour as a way to see highlights of different places. I learned so many interesting facts from John. He knew I was a pharmacist and he even pointed out Britain’s oldest pharmacy. His lunch recommendation was spot on - the food was hot and tasty and the pub was so cute. I can’t say enough good things about this tour. It’s truly worth every penny. It was a major highlight of our trip! Thank you, John!!!

From start to finish this tour was excellent! Michael our tour guide was a top bloke and very knowledgeable. The five of us really enjoyed the day and were delighted with the stops and info given. Particularly enjoyable for Downton Abbey fans :) Scott our driver was also lovely. All in all, highly recommended!

Dewi was delightful, we enjoyed the Cogges Farm, he picked out the perfect pub for a wonderful lunch and allowed shopping time in Burford. Bampton was charming for a walkabout as well. Without a car and faced with driving on the "wrong" side of the road, this was the perfect alternative to see the Cotswold beauty.
