It is really called Edgecott House: about two miles from the beautiful village of Wardington in Oxfordshire.<br />I often drive by, but Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley are never at home. What a shame!<br />Last year I was lucky to visit Lyme Park and I too felt very emotional when I stood in the places Lizzie and Darcy stood while making the series.

The P&P Tour was started by a mother, Helen Porter, taking her daughter to all the filming sites as an 18th birthday gift. They had such a great time that Helen turned it into a business. Some of these sites cannot be accessed unless you're on the tour. It is a great experience for anyone who loves the P&P miniseries.Jan Hahnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-19797453749349400772012-10-14T16:01:19.731-04:002012-10-14T16:01:19.731-04:00A "Firthaholic Darcyholic"--I can't ...A "Firthaholic Darcyholic"--I can't believe that's the first time I've heard that--as perfect as that is, it has to be well used! <br /><br />The British Isles are on my bucket list!

It is neat that a mother taking her daughter to all these places for her 'surprise' birthday, is how this P n P tour got started. Helen Porter is the person responsible and she does a great job! I highly recommend it! Then when you watch the 1995 miniseries together, you can look at all the lovely places and know you have been there and seen them in person! It is truly fantastic.Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-19553341945339127872012-10-11T21:09:56.060-04:002012-10-11T21:09:56.060-04:00I'm so glad that you enjoyed our post!
