An extravagant Georgian mansion, home of the Earls of Caernarvon, rebuilt by Charles Barry in exotic Victorian Gothic style. Highclere boasts a suite of opulent state rooms, and an exhibit of Egyptian artefacts, for the fifth Earl was an enthusiastic backer of Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen.
