Cotswolds

“It isn’t what we say or think that defines us, but what we do,” wrote Austen in her classic novel Sense and Sensibility, published in 1811. What better way to experience Austen’s England, the number one place to visit in the world in 2025?

From London to Winchester, Southampton to the New Forest and Bath, our extraordinary local guides have curated this one-of-a-kind walking adventure, taking in all the key sites that celebrate the life and work of England’s finest fiction author. Walk right up to Jane Austen’s House – where she lived and wrote her novels, her place of birth in a small Hampshire village and her final resting place at the gothic Winchester Cathedral. Culminating in the magnificent city of Bath – somewhere mentioned in each of Austen’s six novels – we’ll crisscross the Georgian city to explore everything Austen.

At day’s end, our handpicked accommodations in Winchester and Bath are full of history too – and it’s not a stretch to imagine Austen herself gracing the receptions and lounges of these quintessentially English establishments.
