Jane Austen Country Tour

View the Brochure

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a visitor to Hampshire must be in search of an appreciation of Jane Austen.

Follow in her footsteps with a personal guide. Visit what Jane called 'the neighbourhood', the picturesque villages, ancient churches, country houses, and trace the Austen and other families that she mentions in her early letters.

This unique tour will take you to the quieter, special places less frequented by the majority of visitors, where she spent the first twenty-five years of her life.

Explore and experience the countryside that inspired her to write Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice.

Your guide will help you understand the social and cultural influences on Jane Austen's formative years.

Take a morning, afternoon or a full day tour with friends, family or colleagues in an air-conditioned people carrier. Perhaps lunch in a country inn. Why walk when you can ride with a guide?

Departures from Basingstoke, Jane Austen House Museum, Chawton, local railway stations, or elsewhere by arrangement. Customised itineraries can be made by special arrangement, price upon application.
