Hampshire: Begin your literary journey in the heart of Hampshire, Jane Austen’s birthplace and lifelong inspiration. Visit the Jane Austen’s House Museum in Chawton, where she revised and wrote many of her novels, and see the nearby Chawton House, once owned by her brother. Enjoy a countryside stay in a traditional manor or country inn and explore the landscapes that inspired her writing. Your private guide will bring to life Jane’s family stories and the quiet brilliance of her daily world.

Bath: Travel to Bath, where Jane Austen lived at the turn of the 19th century. A private walking tour will guide you through the elegant streets and crescents featured in Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Visit the Jane Austen Centre, explore the Assembly Rooms, and stroll the Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge. With time to enjoy traditional afternoon tea or a spa visit, Bath offers the perfect blend of literary history and Georgian luxury.

Cotswolds & Lacock: Head into the storybook countryside of the Cotswolds, with its golden stone villages and romantic manor houses. Stay in a charming boutique hotel and take a day trip to Lacock, a historic village often used in Jane Austen film adaptations. Walk through lanes unchanged for centuries and visit Bowood House, a stunning stately home featured in Sense and Sensibility. The Cotswolds also offer quiet walks and gardens that echo Austen’s pastoral settings.

Winchester (1 night): Conclude the Hampshire portion of your journey in Winchester, where Jane Austen spent her final days. Visit the house where she died, then pay respects at her grave in Winchester Cathedral, a moving pilgrimage for any Austen fan. Enjoy a stay in the heart of this medieval city with its cobbled lanes and literary connections.

London (2 nights): End your tour in London, where Austen visited frequently and set scenes in several of her novels. With your private guide, visit Mayfair, Bond Street, and other Regency-era landmarks. Take in an optional performance at a West End theater or explore the British Library’s literary treasures. You may also choose to add a day trip to Richmond, Greenwich, or Kew, each with Austen-related histories and romantic scenery.
