Today you can still walk in Jane Austen’s footsteps
and capture the atmosphere of her world.
The 15 circular walks in the book take you to the country
houses, churches, great estates and elegant cities she knew
and introduce you to the real-life people she met, many of
whom gave her hints for the characters in her novels. The
rambles include a splendid view of Godmersham House, the inspiration
for Pemberley in Pride and Prejudice and the breathtaking
panorama from Box Hill the scene of the ‘exploring party’
in Emma.
Follow the ill-fated visitors from Uppercross in Persuasion
to descend the Granny Steps in Lyme Regis and come to Bath
to ‘take the waters’ and visit the beautiful Assembly
Rooms - frequented by so many of Jane’s characters.
The newly revised and updated book by Anne-Marie
Edwards remains the only comprehensive travel guide
