'She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent walker. I shall never forget her appearance this morning. She really looked almost wild.' [Pride & Prejudice: Chapter 8]
Set out on an invigorating, garment-billowing country walk from The Vyne to the neighbouring village of Sherborne St John and connect with a rural landscape familiar to Jane. Pick up your free walking route trail map from Visitor Reception or download your digital walking map (coming soon) from The Vyne’s website.
Our apologies, but on this venture, you won’t encounter Mr Darcy in his wet shirt emerging from The Vyne’s lake!
On this self-led walk, you’ll head into Morgaston Woods from The Vyne’s gardens. During winter opening hours, the gates between The Vyne’s gardens and woodland are locked at 3.30pm. During summer opening hours these are locked at 4.30pm. You’ll need to make sure you’re back in the gardens before this time.
Please note the route involves bumpy country paths with tree roots crossing the path in places.
