The life of Jane Austen was extraordinary, and 250 years later we can walk in her footsteps and visit places Jane Austen lived or visited in her short but remarkable life.
From Jane Austen’s birth to her death we have travelled to many of the places we know she lived and visited starting in Steventon her birth village, to the glamorous Georgian City of Bath where were fortunes were mixed and unsettling for the 6 years she lived there.
We follow her to Southampton where her brother Francis gave her a home, and then back to her beloved Hampshire and Chawton Cottage her final proper home. Along the way, we tell many stories of Jane Austen that give us a picture of her life, and how the luck of her brother Edward Austen Knight being adopted by the rich Knight family, enabled him to provide a home for Jane and to provide her with inspiration to write in part thanks to Edward and his Chawton House estate. We see out her final days in Winchester, follow the route her coffin took to Winchester Cathedral and visit the grave of Jane Austen to complete our final footsteps in her past. Jane Austen was arguably one of the best English novelists of her time we hope our video will give you further insight into her life.

I hope (and God allow me) to visit her place some day! One of my favorite writers!! ♥️📚
The stained glass, and the decorative inscription in the church all post-date Jane by many years, being mid to late Victorian.
I've been to south Hampton and saw the jane Austin plaque. And I've also been to bath beautiful places .. 🙂🥰❤❤❤
Jane Austen is ever present in my county of Hampshire (as is Colin Firth 😁) She features in at least two of my videos Chawton and Winchester.

What a wonderful and informative tour of the lives of these people. We have such a rich heritage.
6:44 That house looks like the one used in the original (1980's) version of Pride and Prejudice, as Longbourne. Is it by any chance?
nice videos. subscribed.
So interesting – thank you!
Thank you once again. This tour is so well researched and put together it's just so relaxing and inspiring at the same time. Take care =-)
Is there a tour from London to visit the Jane Austen’s places. Next year I’d like visit London.
Благодарю вас! Произведения читали и очень популярны в России. Спасибо.
Really love your English touring videos. I love your use of music and camera work and your voice is lovely as narrator. My sister and mother and I did our own tour of the key places Jane lived back in 1998. So nice to relive the tour with your help! Lovely thank you!
With magical countrysides like this. It explains where a lot of English writers get their ideas from.
Very good! Thank you!
