Day 1: London Chawton House Portsmouth Isle of Wight (D)Make your own way to the prearranged meeting point in central London to join up with your driver-guide. Then, hop aboard a comfortable minivan and relax on the journey out of the city to the beautiful country of Hampshire.
After around 1.5 hours, arrive in the Hampshire village of Chawton, where you’ll visit Jane Austen’s House Museum, the only house where the well-loved writer lived and wrote that is open to the public as a museum. Hear how it was in this 17th-century house that Austen spent the last eight years of her life, revising three manuscripts and penning three more novels.
Next, continue on to the dynamic waterfront city of Portsmouth. With time here spent at your leisure, you’re free to do as much, or as little, as you wish. Perhaps visit the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (own expense), or recharge with a drink and some food at a local cafe (own expense).
Meet back up with your guide, and then board a ferry for the crossing to the Isle of Wight. After almost an hour, disembark and continue your journey by road to your hotel. After checking in, enjoy a delectable dinner, consisting of local, seasonal produce.
Overnight: 4-star The Royal Hotel or similar on Isle of Wight
Day 2: Isle of Wight (B)After breakfast at your hotel, meet up with your guide and small group and set off by comfortable minivan for Carisbrooke Castle. Explore the historical castle with your guide and hear how King Charles I was famously imprisoned here prior to his execution.
Then, make for Ventnor Botanic Garden. Marvel at the garden’s unrivalled collection of subtropical and exotic plants, and learn how it is protected from the cold northerly winds by chalk downs, meaning its climate is more akin to the Mediterranean than mainland Britain.
When the time comes, return to your hotel and enjoy the evening at your leisure.
Overnight: 4-star The Royal or similar
