Northwest and Southern England, 6 Days · Your own car at your own pace
Visit the main towns and cities in Jane Austen's life on this fascinating tour. The English-born writer, whose novels are considered a key part of classical literature, lived in various places across the south of England. This tour will also whisk you off to locations used in big-screen interpretations of her books. Austen's work is deeply influenced by her life in the countryside and you'll get the chance to stop off at some of these sites. The trip will start off at Chatsworth House and Lyme Park, which were used as the backdrop for the filming of 'Pride and Prejudice'. You'll then head to Bath, a World Heritage Site, where the writer lived for several years. Next stop will be Southampton to set off on the Jane Austen Trail. To round it all off, you'll visit Steventon and Winchester, where Austen spent the first and last years of her life.

Thinking about you
Promotions and deals designed especially for you.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
