Jane Austen's England Tour -- April 2026

 

Join me in Jane Austen's England!

I've been traveling to England for 12 years and now I'd love to share what I've learned with you on this gorgeous, inspiring, and affordable tour of Jane Austen's England.

We begin in the ancient city of Bath, visiting sites like the Jane Austen Centre museum and enjoying afternoon tea in the stunning Regency Tea Rooms. There will be plenty of time for exploring and we even have a side trip to Stonehenge planned!

Next we'll visit Winchester, the site of Jane's death and burial and the ancient medieval capital of England. We'll see her memorials during our tour of Winchester Cathedral, and experience "King Arthur's" Round Table and other medieval and Austen-related sites in this spectacular historical city. 

Our final stop will be Alton in Hampshire where we'll stay in a lovely country house hotel and walk into the village of Chawton where Jane Austen wrote the majority of her six novels. We'll tour the Jane Austen House museum as well as Chawton Manor and experience the Jane Austen Trail, a walk similar to the one Jane would have taken in and out of Alton regularly.

Tour Member Details

This tour is for women only. This is a Christ-centered tour so Jane Austen's Christian religion, as well as my personal faith in Christ, will likely be mentioned throughout the tour. If you think you might find this offensive, please seek another tour to enjoy.

All rooms consist of two twin size beds. Beds and rooms, in general, are usually smaller than American beds and rooms. (I liken the UK's twin size bed to what I slept on in my college dorm in the 90s!) Beds will be individually made up but may be close together. This is standard practice in most UK hotels with shared occupancy. 

Hotels have been booked close to train stations, but tour members should expect to walk a short distance with luggage. This is a walking tour and participants should be prepared to walk several miles per day, in total. Many streets are cobblestone and ancient sites like the Roman Baths will have areas of very uneven pathways. Good, broken-in walking shoes are a must so start breaking in those cute shoes now!

I currently have 6 vacancies for this tour so be sure to contact me soon to reserve your spot. You can email me at sarah@hopeineveryseason.com for registration information or to get further details. 

I can't wait to share Jane Austen's England with you!
