Walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen. Come walk in the footsteps of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, Marianne Dashwood, and Anne Elliot! Your journey begins in the English countryside amid the rolling hills of the South Downs. At Austen’s house, you’ll learn about manners, dress, and dance. Study eighteenth-century estate management and examine the archives at Chawton House Estate. After a stay in Winchester, the ancient capital of England, follow Persuasion’s Anne Elliot to Lyme and Bath. More than a spa destination and shopping mecca, Bath was Austen’s home from 1801 to 1806 and the setting for two of her novels. From its eighteenth-century architecture to the Roman baths, few places inspire like Bath. Before exiting pastoral England, a scenic route takes us past Stonehenge and the village of Lacock, where the 1995 Pride and Prejudice was partly filmed.

Finally, London–a metropolis whose history stretches two millennia. The stunning architecture and vibrant street life mix modern innovation with London’s majestic past. Learn about eighteenth-century drama at Drury Lane, where Austen saw Edmund Kean perform. As you explore Mayfair and the shops of Bond Street, visit some of the same merchants as Mr. Willoughby and the Dashwoods in Sense and Sensibility. Morning classes leave most afternoons free to enjoy London’s museums, art galleries, theatres, orchestras, and markets.
