Over on the Word Wenches blog today I am chatting about the visit I made last week to Highclere Castle, the fabulous Victorian mansion that is used in the filming of Downton Abbey.
Please do drop in to the Wenches to read all about our visit and get some of the behind the scenes Downton gossip! The post is here: http://bit.ly/HGrRgx I’m also offering a copy of my Edwardian book Dauntsey Park to one commenter in honour of our visit!

I can’t even imagine how they built something so huge back then without major machinery. It must have been amazing Nicola.

Wow! it’s so beautiful and amazing. Enjoyed the bit at Wenches. denwal1@aol.com
I only wish I’d been able to go with you!! But it is nice to know that it is open to the public.
So pleased you enjoyed the Wench post, Dena, and thank you everyone for your comments! It’s no wonder it took 40 years to build, is it, Carol. I’m always in awe of the building achievements of past centuries. I hope you make it to Highclere one day, Cate and can see the house for yourself!
Congratulations to Margaret who won the blog contest here and to Mel who won the Wench contest!
