BuzzFeed compiled a list of beautiful places that every Jane Austen fan should visit. And if I had the money, I would be hopping on a plane right now. Check them out (not in any particular order):
1. Jane Austen House Museum, Hampshire
No list can be complete without putting the Jane Austen House Museum. I’ve been there twice and I love it! Apart from the interesting historical artifacts, you have the gorgeous surroundings to make it a perfect outing.
2. Chawton House, Hampshire
Located not too far from the Jane Austen Museum, Chawton House was the house of Jane’s brother Edward. Now, the house’s library is open to visitors along with the gardens..
3. Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire
Where Jane Austen is buried.
4. The Jane Austen Centre, Somerset
A small museum located in Bath, where Austen lived for a time.
5. Basildon Park, Berkshire
Mr. Bingley’s House in the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice
6. Belton House, Lincolnshire
House used as Rosings Park, Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s house, in the 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice
7. Lyme Park, Cheshire
Pemberley! Or what was used as Pemberely in the 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
8. Chatsworth House, Derbyshire
Not only used as Pemberley in the 2005 adaptation Pride and Prejudice, it is also one of the estates Elizabeth visited during her lake tour with her aunt and uncle.
9. Box Hill, Surrey
Have yourself a Box Hill picnic, just like Emma!
10. Lacock Village, Wiltshire
Location not only used in the 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice as the village of Meryton, but Harry Potter was filmed here.

I’m dying to visit all these Austen-esque locations! Wish I could simply snap my fingers and be there, but at least there is always armchair traveling. Thanks for sharing!
