About your trip

Travel from London Heathrow Airport to picturesque Chawton, where Jane Austen spent the most productive years of her writing life. Visit Jane Austen's House Museum, the charming cottage where she revised "Sense and Sensibility" and wrote her later novels, including "Emma" and "Persuasion." Wander through the cottage's authentic period rooms where she created her masterpieces, view the small table where she penned her famous novels, and examine the preserved family heirlooms that reveal the domestic world behind her timeless stories.

Next, continue to historic Winchester, Jane Austen's final resting place and home during her last weeks. Visit the magnificent Winchester Cathedral, where Austen is buried, and admire its stunning architecture spanning over 1,000 years. See her memorial brass plaque, which pays tribute to her personal virtues rather than her literary achievements.

At day's end, your driver brings you comfortably back to LHR Airport after experiencing firsthand the settings that shaped one of English literature's most beloved authors.
