Meet your guide in central Manchester and settle into a fully electric vehicle for a sustainable journey into the heart of the Peak District. Start the day at Lyme Park, instantly recognizable to fans of the 1995 BBC adaptation. Wander the grounds of this stunning estate and see the iconic lake where Colin Firth’s Mr. Darcy took his famous dip.

Visiting the UK from London? Many of our guests travel from London for the day using the direct train to Manchester Piccadilly. The journey takes just over two hours, making this one of the easiest ways to explore Chatsworth House, Stanage Edge and the Peak District without hiring a car.

Next, head into the wilder side of the Peaks to Ramshaw Rocks. These dramatic gritstone outcrops served as a backdrop in the 1995 series, offering a rugged contrast to the manicured estates. Pass through the quaint village of Longnor, a filming location that perfectly captures the atmosphere of a 19th-century market town.

Pause in the charming town of Bakewell, which Jane Austen used as the basis for the fictional town of 'Lambton'. Enjoy free time to explore the medieval stone bridge, browse independent boutiques, and - most importantly - taste the original Bakewell Pudding in the very place it was invented.

In the afternoon, head to the “Jewel of the Peaks”: The Chatsworth Estate. Widely believed to be Austen’s inspiration for Pemberley, choose to spend the afternoon wandering the free parkland and Stand Wood, or purchase a ticket and wander the grand halls and gardens.

Finally, “earn the view” with a guided walk up to Stanage Edge. This is the tour's crowning moment, standing on the towering cliff where Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) gazed out over the wilderness. It’s the ultimate photo opportunity before beginning the quiet, electric journey back to Manchester.

The tour returns to Manchester in the early evening, allowing guests travelling from London to catch an evening direct train back to the capital.
