Have we got
the competition for you! For all you Jane Austen Persuasion fans, we have got
the chance to visit Lyme Regis, where Persuasion is set and go on a Jane Austen
tour of the town.
Jane Austen
visited Lyme Regis in England on at least two separate occasions and set
Persuasion, her last novel, in the town. On the Jane Austen tour we follow in
the footsteps of Jane Austen and her characters around Lyme Regis. During the
Jane Austen tour we take a walk along the Cobb to see the steps from which
Louisa Musgrove fell on the famous harbour wall and visit the inns mentioned in
Persuasion. We see the house in which she stayed and enjoy the pleasure of Lyme
Regis's views, knowing that you are seeing the same sights as Jane Austen saw
and loved.
Jane Austen
loved Lyme Regis so much she set one of her most heartfelt novels here. In it
she writes:
'a very
strange stranger it must be who does not see charms in the immediate environs
of Lyme to make him wish to know it better' (Persuasion).
Why not come
and find out why she loved it so much - we're so sure you will love it too!
