May 24-31, 2025

 

Hampshire

We’ll begin our journey in Hampshire at Oakley Hall Hotel, a manor house hotel that Jane Austen visited when it was a private home. We’ll see where Jane lived, played, and is buried. A day in Bath is a must-do in this area.

The Cotswolds

From Hampshire, we’ll travel to a beautiful home in the Cotswolds where we can walk, talk, and find rest. On the way (ticket accessibility permitting), we will stop at Highgrove Castle of Downton Abbey fame. We’ll also spend time in some of the more quintessential Cotswolds villages, seeing the land that inspired artists like William Morris to create art that spans time. Finally, we’ll venture to Oxford, the city that inspired C.S. Lewis, who, himself, went on to influence millions of readers with his words.

Come fill yourself with beauty, wonder, and creativity as we explore this incredible landscape.
