BPL Blog: Downton Abbey Readalikes

Have you heard about Downton Abbey? It's all the rage! It is a PBS television series which follows the lives of those at the Downton Abbey Estate - the Crawley family and the various staff members who work for them. The first season begins right after the great tragedy of the Titanic, an event which creates a crisis of inheritance amongst the Crawley family. Season 2 lets us in on how the family is affected by the Great War, while Season 3 takes us into their lives after the war, amidst great social changes and romantic drama. Below is an image of the main building featured on the television show as being part of the Downton Abbey Estate, which is actually the Highclere Castle in Hampshire, UK.

Highclere Castle (Hampshire, UK) is the main setting for Downton Abbey.
