1 . It should come as no surprise that England has some of the world’s most interesting attractions for literature lovers.
BathIn England’s West County, not far from the border with Wales, the beautiful Georgian town of Bath is a must- visit for fans. Some of the country’s most celebrated authors have lived here, including Mary Shelley. However, the town’s best-known former resident is Jane Austen, who spent five miserable yeas in the town. The Jane Austen Centre and its Regency Tea Room are among Bath’s most-visited attractions, and there is a 10-day festival held every September that honors the writer and her works.
LondonLondon has long been a favorite setting for English storytellers, and the capital city has appeared in countless stories and novels over the years. Sherlock Holmes had a flat on Baker Street in his crime-solving days. Charles Dickens is perhaps the best-known author of the lot, and there are dozens of Dickensian London tours available to literature lovers. Fleet Street makes an appearance in The Pickwick Papers and A Tale of Two Cities. Oliver Twist fans might remember that the Artful Dodger tricks young Oliver to reach Fagin’s den, located in Saffron Hill in Camden.
Stratford-upon-AvonThe birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon, has built an entire tourism industry around the Bard. Many of Shakespeare’s plays are set in faraway destinations such as Greece, Italy, Denmark and a make-believe island in the middle of the ocean. There are still plenty of attractions that fans won’t want to miss.
