Hello everyone:
We are Downton Abbey fans and have tickets to Highclere Castle during our upcoming trip to the UK. We also wanted to see some of other filming locations such as Bampton. In our research, we have not found an easy way to use public transportation to do so.
Our thoughts are to take the train from London to Newbury. Then rent a car in Newbury, drive to highclere and on to Bampton. See the sights, drive back to Newbury, drop off the car and take the train back to London....we would rather not fight the traffic in London, which is the reason for taking the train to Newbury and renting from there. It appears there is an Enterprise Car Rental in Newbury.
Would love some feedback and alternatives...any other rental companies that have a good reputation?
Thanks much,
CiCi
