The interest generated by the film has led to a fashion for 'Pride and Prejudice Tours' and this site offers information on the sites used in the film covering the counties of Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and the Peak District. (Note it includes a passing reference to the sites used in Berkshire, Kent and Wiltshire as well).
There are numerous links within the site to the official websites of the towns and stately homes and visitors can also benefit from reduced entry prices for Belton House and Burghley House.
With the enduring popularity of the work of Jane Austin continuing to attract visitors from all over the world, this site helps Austin enthusiasts to track down attractions of interest. [less]
