      Forget Downton Abbey, this village has its own sprinkling of stardust. 28 Days Later, Sense and Sensibility and Amazing Grace were all filmed in the area.
    3. Early Doors
      The earliest traces of settlers moving to Downton date back 7,000 years to the Neolithic period. Later came an Iron Age hill fort, Roman villa, Saxon village.

      The artist John Constable visited the village and one of his sketches showing the River Avon and the church roof is held by the British Museum.

    About

    Livelier than a BBC drama, this friendly village is an absolute gem. Nestled between Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the New Forest. The town has 2 (yes, TWO!) excellent breweries producing bottled, can and cask beers and ales you can enjoy at home.

    There’s a great range of village shops and a famous fair attracting thousands of visitors.

    Leisure

    The good folk of Downton are an active bunch, there’s a football pitch, bowling green and leisure centre with a gym and tennis courts. If you prefer your exercise to be less competitive and a little more sedate there is mile after mile of country trails, bridal paths and footpaths to explore.

    The big event of the year is the Cuckoo Fair, which dates back to 1249. It attracts thousands of visitors and is a new take on a traditional fair, with entertainment, hundreds of stalls, local crafts, fresh produce, live music, displays and brilliantly quirky local traditions.
