Mary Berry’s Country House Secrets

Mary visits Highclere Castle, the real Downton Abbey, to learn about its famous house parties, discover what it takes to keep the home going, and cook a delicious spread.

At Scone Palace, Mary goes salmon fishing, deer stalking before rustling up classic Scottish dishes for a dinner with traditional Scottish reeling.

At Powderham Castle, Mary hears stories of romance and tragedy from the Earl and Countess of Devon and makes a peach posset for a Midsummer Eve woodland party.

At Goodwood House, Mary takes a lap of the Goodwood motor circuit with Lord March, learns about organic farming on the estate, and prepares a hearty Race Day breakfast.

Mary meets staff and volunteers at Harewood House as they prepare for Christmas on a grand scale and shows how to make recipes inspired by forgotten festive dishes.
