"Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor", Jane Austen once wrote.

On 16th December 1775, Jane Austen was born at Steventon Rectory; the seventh of eight children of Reverend George Austen and his wife Cassandra. In this one-day tour our expert guide will lead you in Jane’s footsteps to the places of her birth, life and death to discover how she triumphed over her limited opportunities to become one of the most revered writers in the English language.
