Embark on a captivating journey blending the literary heritage of Northern England, the mystical legends of North Wales, and the sweeping landscapes of the Peak District and Snowdonia National Park.
This literary journey through Northern England and Wales blends beloved books, historic libraries, grand estates, and breathtaking landscapes into an immersive experience for readers and travelers alike.
Beginning in Manchester, we will embark on private tours of iconic literary sites including the historic Chetham’s Library, followed by a traditional afternoon tea. Our itinerary then ventures into North Wales, exploring the Alice in Wonderland connections of Llandudno, the medieval grandeur of Conwy Castle, and the Arthurian legends woven through the dramatic landscapes of Snowdonia (Eryri). Crossing into the Peak District, follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen with visits to Treak Cliff Cavern and the magnificent Chatsworth House (best known as Pemberley from the Pride and Prejudice movie!). We will also visit the elegant spa town of Buxton, celebrated by writers such as Lord Byron. The journey concludes with afternoon tea at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House and a farewell dinner in Manchester.
Throughout the trip, you’ll enjoy expert guides, private transportation, boutique accommodations, literary history, traditional British hospitality, and ample free time to wander bookshops, cafés, gardens, castles, and countryside at their own pace.
Planned Departure: September 2027
