Description
Join one of Winchester’s professional guides for a 90 minute walking tour, starting at Winchester Visitor Information Centre. Almost everyone in the UK has read one of her novels, watched a film adaption or heard of her famous characters. Jane had connections with Winchester, some of them very strong and others more tenuous. This tour will cover all these connections, revealing little known details about this famous author. Discover landmarks of Jane’s life, places in Winchester that Jane visited and people she met. Jane died 207 years ago in Winchester. Please note that whilst Jane is buried in Winchester Cathedral this tour does not include entry to the Cathedral. However there will be an opportunity to view the Jane Austen display case at the City Museum. Tickets are available in advance through the website or in person at the Visitor Information Centre.
