COMPETITION - WIN JANE AUSTEN LITERARY WALKING TOURS IN LYME REGIS


© Literary Lyme Walking Tours 
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!
