Jane Austen Tour
Against a nostalgic backdrop of small villages and stately homes, Jane Austen's legendary novels take her readers back to an idyllic 19th Century England. Enhanced by delicious Georgian-style afternoon teas and typical pub lunches, this tour retraces Jane Austen's own steps, taking your group on a whimsical trip through toll gates and old coach roads, visiting the houses which inspired the grand homes in her novels and the locations used in film and TV adaptations of her works.
