If you’re looking for all the most beautiful and noble Pride and Prejudice filming locations then it is a truth universally acknowledged that we’ve got you covered! 

From finding the majestic Pemberley to iconic Peak District locations, there are so many incredible Pride and Prejudice places to discover. Let’s go!

Pride and Prejudice Filming Locations Around England

There are two popular adaptations of the Pride and Prejudice novel: the 1995 BBC TV series with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy and the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet. 

Each of these adaptations uses different movie locations around England so we’ve split them up accordingly (red = 1995 and purple = 2005).

Whether you want to walk in the steps of Firth, Knightley or both, we’ve got you covered. Let’s go location scouting!

Pride and Prejudice 1995 Locations

Peak District National Park, Derbyshire

The Peak District is a beautiful and iconic image in Pride and Prejudice and is where Elizabeth can be found exploring with her aunt and uncle before visiting Pemberley and seeing Mr Darcy again.

How to visit:

At 555 square miles, the Peak District might not be the UK’s largest National Park, but it’s certainly one of the most famous and can be found in between Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham. 

If you want to see one of the most iconic BBC Pride and Prejudice locations in the Peak District, then you’ll want to head to Ramshaw Rocks, which are close to the A53 in the southwest part of the Peak District. 

There is parking nearby and you won’t need to hike for too long to get to the iconic rocks.

Other places to visit nearby:

• Doxey Pool: You can’t possibly leave the Peak District without hiking for longer. The Ramshaw Rocks are part of a fabulous hike along The Roaches, which includes a pitstop at Doxey Pool. It’s said that a mermaid or ‘Blue Nymph’ lives in the pool (although don’t let your children get too close as the mermaid is said to pull children in!)
• Longnor: Found just ten minutes away from the Ramshaw Rocks is the village of Longnor, which was also used as a filming location within the 1995 BBC TV series. Chapel Street in Longnor was where the Lambton Inn was said to be.

Chapel Street, Longnor

It’s easy to see two Pride and Prejudice 1995 locations in one day thanks to the village of Longnor being a mere ten-minute drive from the Ramshaw Rocks. 

Here, you can walk along Chapel Street, which was used as the fictional town of Lambton and the Lambton Inn (where Elizabeth Bennet stayed with her aunt and uncle during their jaunt to the Peak District).

How to visit:

To make your search for Pride and Prejudice filming locations even more memorable, why not stay in the village of Longnor? 

There are lots of quaint little cottages and bustling inns to stay in, which will easily transport you back in time!

Other places to visit nearby:

• Bakewell: Found just 20 minutes from Longnor is the old market town of Bakewell. Despite Longnor being used as the filming location for Lambton, it’s believed that Jane Austen actually got her inspiration from Bakewell instead. So a walk through here would complement any Pride and Prejudice trip to the Peak District!
• Chatsworth House: Found 30 minutes from Longnor (and close to the village of Bakewell) is the majestic Chatsworth House, which was actually one of the Pride and Prejudice 2005 filming locations as none other than the exterior of Pemberley itself.

Belton House, Lincolnshire

The majestic 17th-century Belton House in Lincolnshire serves as both the interior and exterior of Rosings Park, home to the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

How to visit:

Belton House is a National Trust property, which means members can visit for free. 

For non-members, if you just want to visit the gardens then you can pay on the door. But if you also want to visit the main rooms inside the mansion, then this is via a pre-bookable timed entry system. 

Note that National Trust members will still need to book their keys for the house in advance; you just won’t have to pay anything.

• Wyndham Park: Charming park for walking and playing in, just 2.5 miles from Belton House.

Lyme Park, Cheshire

Lyme Park is a magnificent Edwardian manor in Cheshire and served as all of the exterior shots of Mr Darcy’s Pemberley estate within the 1995 TV adaptation. Note that Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire was used for the interior shots.

How to visit:

Lyme Park can be found close to the tip of the eastern side of the Peak District National Park, while Sudbury Hall is 45 miles south of there.

Both properties are owned by the National Trust, which is great news if you’re a member as you’ll be able to visit both places for free and on the same day. Tickets can be bought on the door for non-members.

Other places to visit nearby:

• Eccles Pike: The Peak District gets its name from the 65 hills and mountains found throughout this area of England. Eccles Pike is 370 metres high and is just 20 minutes from Lyme Park.
• Longnor and Ramshaw Rocks: Longnor and the nearby Ramshaw Rocks are within an hour’s drive south of Lyme Park, so you could easily turn your Peak District trip into a complete Pride and Prejudice jaunt!

Lacock Abbey & Village, Wiltshire

The unmissable Lacock Abbey cloisters stood in for the University of Cambridge during flashbacks of Mr Darcy’s time as a student.

While Lacock Village was the setting of the fictional town of Meryton where we first meet the too-charming George Wickham.

How to visit:

Lacock Abbey is owned by the National Trust, which means members can visit for free, while non-members can pay at the door. 

You’ll also want to leave some time to stroll around the pretty Cotswolds village of Lacock, which is home to old timber-framed houses, sweet shops and country pubs.

Teigh Old Rectory, Leicestershire

The charming Teigh Old Rectory in Leicestershire served as the Collins’ rectory within Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s Rosings Park.

How to visit:

Although the rectory is a private residence, they’ve actually turned it into a bed and breakfast, which means you can make like Charlotte and relax in the parlour with your tea, scones and tapestries.

Pride and Prejudice 2005 Locations

Groombridge Place, Kent

The 17th-century manor house of Groombridge Place near Tunbridge Wells in Kent served as the Bennet family home within the 2005 movie.

You can visit both the castle and gardens or just the gardens if you prefer. Online prices are cheaper than getting tickets on the door.

Stourhead, Wiltshire

The beautiful National Trust-owned estate of Stourhead is home to one of the most iconic Pride and Prejudice 2005 locations of them all. 

The Temple of Apollo overlooking the estate was where Mr Darcy finally confesses his love for Elizabeth… in the rain… 

But he sadly doesn’t quite use the right words to convince her of how much he really does love her. This temple even allows for weddings to take place here too!

How to visit:

The Stourhead House, Gardens and Estate are all owned by the National Trust. While members can visit for free, non-members can buy their tickets on the door. 

You’ll need to climb a steep hill to get to the Temple of Apollo in the main Stourhead estate (where the lake is), but it’s well worth it for both the views and to see this iconic Pride and Prejudice 2005 location up close.

Glastonbury Tor has great views of the surrounding countryside while Clark’s Village in Street, Somerset is less than 10 minutes away from Glastonbury. Here, you’ll find a huge array of outlet shopping for large high street and designer stores.

Basildon Park, Berkshire

The incredible 18th century mansion Basildon Park was used as Netherfield Park in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie where Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy were staying. 

This is also where Jane takes to bed with a cold (thanks to her mother’s ingenious attempts at matchmaking).

The interior was renovated in the 1950s so elaborate set dressings were used inside to make the interior shots in keeping with Austen’s era.

We also see Basildon Park make an appearance within Netflix’s hit TV show, Bridgerton!

How to visit:

Basildon Park is now owned by the National Trust so members can visit for free. 

Non-members can buy tickets for the house, gardens and 400-acre estate on the door. 

You’ll want to spend all day here as the walks around the estate are extensive and well worth it (especially in the spring when the woodlands sprout thousands of bluebells).

The incredible Tudor mansion Burghley House was built in the 1500s by Queen Elizabeth I’s Lord High Treasurer. 

It was suitably used as Lady Catherine de Burgh’s Rosings Park in the 2005 movie adaptation.

This is where we see Elizabeth Bennet standing on the edge of the aptly named Stanage Edge as the camera pans across the stunning Peak District countryside.

How to visit:

Stanage Edge is on the eastern side of the Peak District and is roughly a ten minute walk from the nearest parking – although you’ll have to traverse some steep hills.
