Tour starts Tuesdays 9.30am Bath Spa railway station

Day 1

Your tour will start with a short walking tour of Jane Austen sites in Bath followed by refreshments at the Jane Austen Centre. Following this you will visit the village of Meryton which includes the Meryton Assembly rooms, Darcy’s university and The Bell at Bromley. Then you’ll visit Longbourn church where Lizzie marries Darcy.
We overnight in Tetbury, the home town of Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Day 2

You visit and photograph the exterior of Netherfield, followed by a visit to Stoneleigh Abbey (optional).

Stoneleigh Abbey was one of the homes of the Leigh family, and Jane Austen visited in 1806 with her mother and Cassandra during a visit to Mrs. Austen’s first cousin, Reverend Thomas Leigh who had just inherited it. It is believed that this house was used for inspiration in ‘Mansfield Park’.

You have the option of taking lunch at Stoneleigh Abbey or in Warwick before travelling on to our overnight stay in the Peak District.

Please note – the location for Darcy’s London scenes is currently closed for urgent restoration and major structural works. Reopening is scheduled for 2023.

Day 3

You visit the wonderful estate at Pemberley to see the grounds, and the first sight of the house as seen by Elizabeth. You will then visit Elizabeth’s Peak District and the village of Lambton.

You will be staying at Hunsford Parsonage, possibly in Elizabeth’s room with the closet! You will have refreshments here (included) and a tour of the parsonage and church before having dinner at a local pub or restaurant (not included).

Please note – we regret to inform you that there is currently no access to ‘Darcy’s Pond’. We expect access to be restored late summer – date to be confirmed. For  today, good walking shoes are advised, as the rocks can be wet and a little slippery. 

Day 4

After a leisurely breakfast at Hunsford, you visit Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s fine home at Rosings Park – you will be able to see the gardens and grounds where a lot of filming was done as well as the rooms inside, including Lady Catherine’s ‘Throne Room’. You will lunch here before touring the house and have the opportunity of some free time to take all the photos you want and for refreshments before our departure.
