Description
Visit the real Pemberley from the beloved 1995 BBC adaptation. Discover Lyme Park, Sudbury Hall and the Derbyshire locations that brought Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle's story to life.
Before Keira Knightley's Pemberley, there was Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth's - filmed across real Derbyshire locations that have become some of the most visited literary pilgrimage sites in England.
This small-group day trip takes you to every key filming location from the BBC's original 1995 miniseries. Begin at Lyme Park, whose grand Palladian front and deer park served as Pemberley's exterior, including the site of Mr Darcy's now-legendary lake scene. Entry is included.
After a lunch stop in Buxton, one of England's grandest Regency spa towns, continue to Ramshaw Rocks - the dramatic gritstone outcrop where Elizabeth and the Gardiners pause to admire "the untamed beauty of the peaks."
Next, visit Sudbury Hall, used for Pemberley's interior scenes, including the grand gallery Elizabeth wanders through unannounced (entry not included). Finish in Longnor, the quiet village that played Lambton, where the real exterior of the Lambton Inn still stands today.
