I (like many others) won’t be able to visit England for a while, so I’ve decided to make some plans for the (hopefully not too distant) future 😀 I really miss Bath (especially after seeing it again in Bridgerton), so that’s at the top of my list. And I like to visit Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Teignmouth and Dawlish again, those little seaside towns where Jane Austen went on holiday herself. And of course Worthing, which may or may not have been the inspiration for Sanditon (personally I believe it was)❤️ Sometimes making preparations is almost as much fun as the real thing (almost...) .

While still not being able to visit England, I'm browsing through the photos I made in 2017, when I was a guide on two Dutch Jane Austen tours. This photo was taken at Burghley, a phenomenal stately home near Stamford. I was standing on the Lion Bridge, which was designed by the famous landscape architect Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Of course Burghley is better known among Janeites as Rosings, Lady Catherine's country house in the Pride and Prejudice adaptation from 2005. Did you know that some of the staff of Burghley played as extras in the movie? For 'Jane Austen's England: A Travel Guide' I interviewed room guide Peter Cochrane about his experiences as one of Lady Catherine's footmen 😅 . Due to covid-19 Burghley House will remain closed until March 2021, but the gardens are open (make sure you pre-book) and are very pretty. I'm sure Lady Catherine would approve. She probably designed them herself 😉 . . #janeausten #janeaustentravelguide #janeaustensengland #travelguide #england #austen #janeite #austenite #filmlocation #ardentlyaustenbookclub #austentour #thisaustenlife #janeitesunite #booklovers #accartbooks #janeaustentour #janeaustenfan #janeaustenbooks #janeaustenforever #janeaustenbookclub #janeaustenfans #filmlocation #burghleyhouse @accartbooks_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CCX6uhcg60B/?igshid=5cuhajvg6oo9

On 29 October 1995, between 10 and 11 million British citizens watched the televised wedding of Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley, and Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy 👰🤵 👰🏻🤵🏻 The ceremony took place in this beautiful little English church 😁 . The famous double wedding scene from Pride and Prejudice 1995 was filmed in the Church of St Mary and St Ethelbert in Luckington. Luckington Court, which was Longbourn in the series, is not open to the public, but the church is! .
