Stacey, there are tours & I did go through it. Surprisingly, the rooms are smaller than they appear on TV but it's a gorgeous place. The current countess is a great writer who wrote "Lady Almina & the real Downton Abbey" which was a fascinating true story about that countess who was the illegitimate daughter of a Rothschild. She set up a hospital there during WWI. Got that one on my Kindle. I got her 2nd book about the next real countess at Highclere & it's signed. The count is one who discovered King Tut's tomb & there's a display of some of his treasures.

Schoolhouse, those must be some amazing spiders you have ! Love the pics.

A fox in my sister's backyard. There was a pair that made a den under her shed and had 5 kits! It was great fun to watch the babies come out and play.
