Overview
The only walking tour of Chawton led by a resident of the village. Laura, founder of Passione Campagna Inglese, lives in Chawton and has been sharing her passion for the English countryside for years through her Facebook, Instagram and YouTube content, followed by thousands of people around the world. On this two-hour tour, offered on separate dates in English and Italian, Laura will introduce you to the village Jane Austen knew and loved, the places connected with her life and novels, and present-day Chawton through the perspective and personal experience of someone who lives here. This experience is designed not only for Jane Austen enthusiasts, but for anyone wishing to discover one of the most charming villages in southern England: a perfect day trip from London combining history, literature, village life and the authentic atmosphere of the English countryside.
