The life of Jane Austen was extraordinary, and 250 years later we can walk in her footsteps and visit places Jane Austen lived or visited in her short but remarkable life. From Jane Austen's birth to her death we have travelled to many of the places we know she lived and visited starting in Steventon her birth village, to the glamorous Georgian City of Bath where were fortunes were mixed and unsettling for the 6 years she lived there. We follow her to Southampton where her brother Francis gave her a home, and then back to her beloved Hampshire and Chawton Cottage her final proper home. Along the way, we tell many stories of Jane Austen that give us a picture of her life, and how the luck of her brother Edward Austen Knight being adopted by the rich Knight family, enabled him to provide a home for Jane and to provide her with inspiration to write in part thanks to Edward and his Chawton House estate. We see out her final days in Winchester, follow the route her coffin took to Winchester Cathedr
