A unique and leisurely journey through southern England and the landscape that inspired Jane
Austen, Thomas Hardy, TS Eliot, Wordsworth and Shakespeare. We visit Jane
Austen’s house in Hampshire, as well as the City of Bath; and Thomas Hardy’s
home in the county town of Dorchester. Then to the village of East Coker,
location for one of TS Eliot’s Four Quartets, and Tintern Abbey, the subject of
Wordsworth’s famous poem. We spend a day at Hay on Wye Literature Festival, the
greatest festival of its kind in the world, which takes place every year in the
Welsh border country. After visiting Stratford on Avon we shall attend a
performance at the Globe Theatre in London, and then spend our final day
visiting our own choice of London’s great sights. We never drive more than a
hundred miles in a day at most, and usually much less, so this is indeed a leisurely
pilgrimage with no early starts.
