Steventon - Jane Austen Celebration 9.5 Mile Walk
Jane Austen, widely regarded as a literary genius, was born in Steventon 250 years ago in 1775. This walk celebrates the first 25 years of Jane Austen’s life taking in Steventon and we will walk in her footsteps. The walk starts in Overton and heads West past the source of the River Test and through lanes and farmland reaching Steventon Church where her father was Rector. We pass many places little changed from Jane’s day and we begin to see how she was inspired to break the literary mould in concentrating ordinary life and addressing human psychology especially in relationships. The walk will pause at keep places to consider important places and influences of Ms Austen.
