Nothing screams vacation like jumping in the car, blasting some tunes and driving to the seaside. Downton has some lovely beaches nearby, so bring along a book (and a kite if the wind’s blowing) and head to one of these well-known options:
- Weston Hard Woolston Beach (18 miles away).
- Highcliffe Beach (18 miles away).
- Barton-on-sea Beach (19 miles away).
