Literary Kent and Sussex

A great day out from London - Try something a Brit Different!

What a wealth of literary history in the counties of Kent and Sussex! We visit as many sites as possible on our Literary Southern England tour but for a hard core specialty interest in a specific author or for those who don’t have the time for a 4 day tour, here is your solution!

We will design a tour appropriate for your particular interests and for the time/distance possible for a day trip from London.

Literary sites in Kent and Sussex include: Ashdown Forest and the world of AA Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, Knole House (Virginia Woolf’s Orlando,) the Sissinghurst of Vita Sackville-West, Rudyard Kipling’s Bateman’s, Dickens’ Rochester and Rye, Lamb House and Henry James, Winston Churchill’s Chartwell, Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes sites, Chaucer’s Canterbury...

 

Fridays only, enjoy “Bloomsbury in Sussex” - visit Virgina Woolf’s Monk’s House, Vanessa Bell’s Charleston Farmhouse where the Woolfs, the Bells, Duncan Grant, Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey, T S Eliot and E M Forster among others enjoyed their weekends, and the magical Berwick Church and its murals painted by friends from Charleston Farmhouse. Read more about this unique corner of countryside on: http://www.bloomsburyinsussex.org.uk/index.htm

 

This day tour is not run as a scheduled departure; the tour will be just yourselves with your own driver/guide.

We would pick you up from your Central London hotel at 8.30 and return you there at approximately 6PM. Entrances to major attractions included in the price. Lunch is at your own expense (but we will find a great place for you to eat!)

 

2008 Rates:

2 to 3 persons traveling: $725 USD

4 to 6 persons traveling: $749 USD

7+ persons traveling:    $849 USD

 

NOTE: Subject to vehicle/guide availability. Please, try to give two alternative dates for your tour when booking in case your first choice is not available.

 

Please note, due to current opening times, the Bloomsbury in Sussex option is only available on Fridays. For all day trips, please note that all attractions are subject to opening times and some may not be available on specific days and some have been know to close without prior notice.

 

If you have more time, why not try our 4-day Literary Southern England , our 3-day Jane Austen mini-tour or our 14-day Bookworm tour ?
