AFTERNOON TEA AT DOWNTON ABBEY (HIGHCLERE CASTLE)// Happy Tuesday lovely people, Today we're finally sharing our visit to Highclere Castle in Hampshire also known as Downton Abbey! We were so so excited as we had to reschedule our visit 3 times due to Covid. Highclere Castle is the country seat of the Earls of Carnarvon. The 5th Earl of Carnarvon was the chief financial backer on many of Howard Carter's Egyptian excavations and known for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. There's also an Egyptian exhibition which gives you a lot of insight and amazing replicas. Egypt holds a special place in my heart since I (Kirsten) lived there with my parents as a teenager.
As huge Downton Abbey fans, this place is even more beautiful in person but even if you haven't watched the series, the house is magical. To make our visit even more memorable, we also booked a traditional English Afternoon Tea at the Coach House, one of the real British traditions. You have to book in advance and they also offer a gluten free option.
We hope you will enjoy the video. Kirsten & Joerg xx

Hello, I am from Assam (in the Northeast of India) where the British first discovered tea! They also left the legacy of a colonial life which we are familiar with as my family was in tea. I so love your videos and I got hooked to A Fairytale cottage which was my first. I was wondering why I got this warm wondrous feeling and I realised that there’s something mysterious and magical in Kirsten’s voice. You make even the most mundane extraordinary, thank you for taking us to our own dreamlands! You make everybody Want to have your lifestyle! Wishing you both all the best. Keep smiling

@karenstanislaw8912 2 года назад

Kirsten, when you call out in the beginning of this video, "Lady Mary, we're here,!" I literally cried. What joy! How we love this golden series. -So pleased for you and Joerg that you enjoyed your day, and always appreciative to share that pleasure with you,

@CaponeCabin 2 года назад

Absolutely the highest quality, best channel on RU-vid! The only perfect escape from day to day life. Just let Kirsten and Joerg take you on a short journey ❤

“Lady Mary, we are coming!” Haha I can imagine the look on her face 😉. Thanks for taking us along. It looks beautiful!

@honeyhillartsdonnafoster3592 2 года назад

20 years ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a wonderful vacation traveling in England. It was a dream of mine, and loved every minute of it. The high teas, O the gardens, and wonderful morning walks. The rain smelled fabulous, thank you for all the details that help me relive a very special time.

@richenuff01 2 года назад

I was in England for a conference back in July 2018, and loved every second of it. We rented a car and drove all over to squeeze in as much as we could. England stole my heart and the people are fabulous. I can't wait to go back...even it it requires a conference first. LOL

@tigermoon44 2 года назад

The best part of this video was seeing how "giddy" Kirsten was to seeing Highclere Castle! You are such a sweet couple! Thanks for taking us along!

@contrarymary7638 2 года назад

I liked seeing how giddy Joerg was after the champers! 😄

@richenuff01 2 года назад

I was there and it seems that this picturesque castle has that affect on people. LOL It's a magical place and can't wait to go back.

@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 3 года назад

These beautiful estates bring out the best in us, I think. They represent so much beauty, tranquility, culture and history.

@agarrison9254 2 года назад

Your videos are a highlight to my day! So relaxing and I love visiting The UK with you! I adore you and Joerg! 😍God Bless you both!

@bay9886 2 года назад

OH my goodness how wonderful! Thank you for taking us along on this adventure! This may be Highclere Castle but it will always be known to millions of people as Downton Abbey! I am one of them. IT was all breathtaking! Have a Blessed Weekend!

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Thanks so much!

@nancyechelberger6347 2 года назад

I have not seen Downtown Abbey, but now I might see if I can find it and watch it. The castle looked amazing as well the afternoon tea. But, I think the best thing for Joerg was seeing how happy it all made Kirsten so happy, he loves her so much.

@sheilaenglish7329 2 года назад

You brought back memories of my own visit to Highclere Castle. I heard the music playing as we pulled up the driveway and I could remember so many significant scenes in every room . We also had Tea which was lovely, really well done but I agree they could probably have a larger and perhaps prettier place in which to serve it. Very glad we took Tea though 😊

@nancycolbert2703 2 года назад

My heart was pounding and my stomach was fluttering as you drove up to the front door of "Downton Abbey". Thank you for sharing this wonderful glimpse into the life of the infamous " Gratham" and "Crawley" families. Stay well and safe🇨🇦🏰

@robinfinicle3040 3 года назад

Outstanding!! The roses were stunning! And that tea service! You two have all the fun :) Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us.

@christinesmith7391 2 года назад

That was a trip down memory lane! I pushed my daughter up Beacon Hill in her buggy, she’s now 44. Highclere was a favourite haunt of ours. 🤗

@rustyunquebecoiserrant.8049 2 года назад

I missed watching the original airing of Downton Abbey but I was able to binge watch it during the pandemic. Proof that when life sends you lemons, make lemonade! What lovely place indeed.

@spiritofanu3112 2 года назад

Love your excitement, you two. I felt it too - all the way to Canada. What a treat for all of us DA fans! The afternoon tea looked perfect. Thank you for bringing us along with your wonderful commentary, filming and music. 🥰

@bytirbenna 2 года назад

Oh my, thank you! I have loved every bit of Downton Abbey, from the first minute.. and to see it through your eyes is such a treat! I adore your channel, and love both of you! So touching to see you hugging there, on the lawn, with the great house in the background! Thanks for the great filming of the garden as well! Jörg, was that you? Beautifullly captured, as I was there myself.. SO lovely! Thank you. ❤️❤️

@marybazargani6929 2 года назад

As a fan of Downton Abbey, just looking at that marvelous exterior and the beautiful gardens I could feel the story evolving. What a wonderful setting for a lovely afternoon tea! I loved the video..

@lindacampbell540 2 года назад

Pretty as a picture on the famous bench Kirsten….wonderful tour through the grounds. Also appreciate Joergs comments and insight….always interesting. Glad you enjoyed your outing and thank you for sharing!

@gingerhipszky228 2 года назад

The rose and flower gardens are fabulous. The afternoon tea, looked very yummy. I seem to be noticing more gluten free items where we shop now. The cars were fantastic,love seeing Lord Carnarvon driving away. Love video of the field of white flowers with Kirsten walking up the middle

A beautiful video. The views were wonderful and your tea looked so delicious! Thanks for bringing us along.

@louiselage7740 2 года назад

Keep up the beautiful work, Kirsten and Joerg! Really really enjoyed this visit to Downton Abbey. Just being on the grounds and having such a wonderful tea, really made me feel so much better. I wasn't having a particularly good day, and your vlog took me away to such a calm and beautiful place. Thank you!

@lentilgoddess 2 года назад

What a special installment! You two are masters of "the willing suspension of disbelief." I found myself nodding and thinking, "Yes, the Earl of Carnarvon really should offer afternoon tea on the lawn, " as I put the laundry in the drier. You put so much into your videos-- history, travel research-- and of course...a full critique of the tea! Thank you for these lovely videos.

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Aww thank you so much! To be fair, you can book your afternoon tea as a picnic but since you have to book way in advance, it can be tricky regarding the weather and of course they need to plan.

@kennabaskerville6237 2 года назад

Loved this!!!! Thank you. You are such a sweet couple and enjoy each other so much. Wonderful to see. When you kissed you reminded me of Mary and Matthew kissing on Christmas Eve when he proposed to her. ❤

@marciasmusic8437 2 года назад

Oh this was so wonderful!! Full of variety and such beauty too.. roses… all the flowers.. high tea.. just being there.. and your walk to the top of Beacon Hill.. I love Downton Abbey too.. how fun to share in your day Kirsten and Joerg!! ❤️🤍💙

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

It was so special Marcia and great weather too as the forecast actually said rain.

@ritaabrahamson567 3 года назад

This is a dream of mine! What a beautiful garden, rose arbor and tea...so enjoyable!

@cristakaye6142 2 года назад

I went in 2018! It was a fabulous experience. I ordered a picnic tea and sat under one of the big trees with a view of the castle. I think they do that seasonally. It came in a beautiful big box.

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Yes, the still do that, only problem is you need to order well in advance and we actually had a bad weather forecast with lots of rain. Luckily we didn’t have any.

@Susana-0025 2 года назад

How wonderful, I know what you mean by giddy! I’ve been so looking forward to this. Thanks so much it was lovely of you to share that 😘

@carolefreeman2544 2 года назад

Finally you have arrived at Highclere Castle! Thank you for taking the viewers who are unable to make the journey in person on your trip to Highclere Castle the home of Downton Abbey. It’s too bad you couldn’t film inside, oh well, at least we can see the beautiful surrounding grounds which are lovely including the Secret Garden. The Coach House Afternoon Tea looked yummy (Gluten Free too! ). I loved the photos of Downton Abbey behind you. Thank you I enjoyed your vlog very much as always it’s so well presented. Look forward to see you soon! Take care, x🇨🇦

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Thanks so much Carole! Yes, did expect not to be able to film inside (since the house is used for TV which usually makes it impossible since it commercialised).

@valeriebishop561 2 года назад

OH MY!!! We didn't know there was another Downton Abbey film coming!! Hooray!

@gill2292 2 года назад

This is such a lovely vlog. I absolutely love Downton. Everything about it is perfect and you both make it so special. Amazing how much gluten free items are offered at nearly all the tea places. My daughter would love that. Kirsten you honestly look half your age! I can’t wait for the Downton Abbey Christmas movie. Thank you for bringing us along!

@rubycorman469 2 года назад

Oh , I've been waiting for this ! I'm a huge Downton fan so this was a real treat . Kirsten I didn't know you had lived in Egypt . I woul love to hear a bit more about that . I've always loved the wolf head door knockers and dragon's at the front door . The rose garden , the tea and you two to share it with us 💕💕💕🇨🇦

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Thanks so much Ruby! Shared it on the channel in our first Q&A and also in our livestreams.

@leonawilkins5881 3 года назад

A visit to Highclere Castle is on my bucket list! I love Downton Abby! The video shots were wonderful. Thank you for bringing delight and wonder into my life.

@karenstanislaw8912 2 года назад

Leona, beautiful closing line. Very tender in heart. Much joy to you.

@andrastetriformis6241 2 года назад

It was all lovely but the flowers were just glorious and the meadow of Queen Anne's lace is a dream come true, my garden patch of it wants to take over the entire property, I may just let it now after seeing that meadow! TFS! 💐

@argentinagalos6205 2 года назад

Beautiful ! It would have been lovely to meet Lady Fiona Carnarvon ,who, to my knowledge , read German at Cambridge or Oxford . We really miss Downton Abbey, fiction or reality mixed ,it is a world our fathers and grandfathers were part of, it was based on moral values ,on things that built and not destroyed...Keep on doing what you have embarked upon !

@bethkrav 2 года назад

Getting goosebumps watching you and Joerg walking up the drive to Downton Abbey and being able to experience such a magnificent place. Had to of course get my tea set out to watch this!

@davidmadison5582 2 года назад

It's Gwenda.- It was a dream to watch you two at Highclere! The gigantic front doors, the gardens, the Rolls Royce, afternoon tea and the precious sheep in the luscious pasture!! Oh Happiness! Thank you both!!

@jimmyjames6267 3 года назад

Nice having this to watch tonight after dinner, ❤

@pamelaevans6485 2 года назад

What an amazing vlog. I loved this series and even bought the series and movie during lockdown during the long winter. How wonderful to be actually there. The gardens were magnificent. Many thanks. Beautiful filming.

@JT-316 2 года назад

Oh another superb video and of a place I would so love to visit, how beautiful! I’m such a fan as well and love Lady Mary! Kirsten, when you refer to spending some years in Egypt, it reminded me to ask if you and Joerg would consider making a video that tells us more about you and your families? What did your parents do that brought your family to Egypt? I would find that so interesting! Thank you for the fun and joyful video and the delicious tea cakes virtually!

@tanyaansley3992 2 года назад

Okay!!! I have to Say it again...if we were to meet I'm quite certain we would be best of friends. You make me laugh and smile with every video. What a delightful and lovely treat you are in my like. The two of you bring such joy to others. thank you so Much!

Liebe Kirsten und Jörg! So, so sooooo wunderschön!!! Eure Begeisterung reißt einen mit, aber wirklich unglaublich toll! Die Gärten , und das wundervolle blaue Zimmer......usw......die traumhafte Musik......ich hoffe die ganze Welt schaut eure Videos!!!! Für mich gar nicht mehr vorstellbar, dass ich von euch nichts mehr hören und sehen könnte!!! Ein unverzichtbarer Luxus in meinem Leben. Ich denke soo oft an euch, ob ihr wohl bald eure Familien treffen könnt. Ich kenne euch eigentlich gar nicht, aber ihr seid mir so vertraut, wie alte Bekannte. Möge der liebe Gott oder die Natur oder wer auch immer uns aller Leben lenkt, euch hüten und beschützen. In lieben Gedanken an euch und dankbar für das Teilen eurer Abenteuer.....eure Michaela

So excited to see you at Highclere after all your disappointments last year. We watched the whole of Downton Abbey again during the lockdowns and it was lovely to see you there. I’ve loved your holiday!!

@karunaratnegayendri4959 2 года назад

In 2017, in our trip to Uk we enjoyed traditional english tea in a farmhouse close to Lake district.. clotted cream first and then jam. Next time, will try the other way, which Joerg did.

@davidd.5700 3 года назад

Once again beautiful, I just love the landscape.

@franbeeber6132 3 года назад

Just loved the show Downton Abbey. Enjoyed seeing the gardens and the high tea. One day We will travel back to The UK and I will ask my husband to visit with me. Always enjoy watching your adventures. Take care.❤️

@lindaking9222 2 года назад

How exciting to finally see Highclere…beautiful estate….I had planned to visit a year or so ago when I was going to a family wedding,but sadly had to cancel the flight to the UK because of Covid…..it was lovely to see it today,thanks…seen a program with Lord & Lady Carnarvon,,they seem very down to earth friendly welcoming people….afternoon tea is a wonderful British tradition,wish it was here…🇨🇦

@stephanieruggles7783 2 года назад

The Secret Garden reminded me of another movie I love to watch. It is called „The Secret Garden“ after the novel of Frances Hodgson-Burnett. Also the book is nice to read. It plays in the Victorian era. You check both out. Makes me wonder, if parts were filmed there as it also needs a castle. But I would highly recommend the movie version of 1993 where Maggie Smith plays the house keeper.

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Thanks so much! Yes, watched the film(s) and also have the book.

@brendatucker35 2 месяца назад

Brilliant, a fan, loved all the lavender, so glad you were there!!!

@karenhartley1475 2 года назад

How wonderful! I am definitely living vicariously through you two. I had told you earlier that years ago we were on the bus to Highclere and my hubby had to get off because he felt ill so we didn’t get to go. Proms would be amazing there! We went to Royal Albert Hall for Proms back in 2016 and loved it. Thanks so much for sharing. Much love to you both. ❤️❤️

@KirstenJoerg 2 года назад

Thanks so much Karen and so sorry that this happened to you. But your time at the Proms sounds unforgettable.

Awesome sky views with beautiful clouds! The castle is certainly grand and I loved the series. Scrumptious High Tea served with wonderful presentation...a great outing well worth the drive!
