Pride & Prejudice Peak District full day tour
About This Experience
Whether you are a devotee of the 1995 BBC series looking for the spot where Mr. Darcy emerged from the lake at Lyme Park, or a fan of the 2005 movie wanting to stand on the same cliff edge as Keira Knightley at Stanage Edge, this tour is designed for you.
Departing from central Manchester in a premium, 100% electric vehicle, this tour offers an unparalleled look at the locations that brought Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet to life.
Staying in London? Many of our guests travel from London for the day by taking the direct train to Manchester Piccadilly before joining the tour. It's one of the easiest ways to experience Chatsworth House, Stanage Edge and the Peak District without hiring a car.
*Chatsworth House: The house is not open for visitors from the 1st-6th November. The gardens will remain open to visit.
Tour Itinerary
45 min
Leaving Manchester, we journey to the grand Lyme Park estate. Your guide will lead you through the parkland to the very spot where Colin Firth’s Mr. Darcy took his famous dip in the lake. It is the perfect start to our exploration of the Regency era's enduring legacy
15 min
Next, we delve into the wilder "Austen" landscapes. We’ll visit the dramatic gritstone towers of Ramshaw Rocks, seen in the 1995 series.
10 min
Our third stop of the day takes us to the tiny but architecturally rich village of Longnor. This was used as Lambton in the 1995 adaptation.
1 hour
We arrive in Bakewell, the market town Austen herself visited while writing. Use your free time to explore the medieval bridge or visit the local bakery to try a Bakewell Pudding, a recipe that dates back to the time of the Napoleonic Wars.
2 hours
The afternoon is dedicated to Chatsworth House, the "Jewel of the Peaks." This stunning estate was used as the exterior and interior of Pemberley in the 2005 movie. Admire the sculpture gallery and the painted halls where Elizabeth Bennet’s heart began to soften toward Mr. Darcy.
30 min
Our final stop is a guided walk to the top of Stanage Edge. Standing on the towering gritstone cliff, you can recreate the iconic cinematic moment from the 2005 film, overlooking the vast and beautiful Peak District wilderness before our quiet, electric return to Manchester.
