A historic town with Jane Austen links, pretty countryside, and a heritage steam railway.

“Jane Austen Country with a Quiet Charm”
by Jess W – June 2025

Not a destination with lots of sights, but a pleasant enough town. I came because of the Austen connection and ended up enjoying a gentle walk, a nice lunch, and a wander round the local shops. Very low-key but peaceful.
