About This Tour
Immerse yourself with me in the magical world of the English countryside with this comprehensive experience that will take you to discover East Meon, Upper Farrnigdon and Chawton, three picture-postcard villages in the South Downs National Park that have kept their authenticity intact and allow you to immerse yourself for a day in the fascinating world of Miss Marple and Inspector Barnaby. This one-of-a-kind private day tour in the UK is much more than just a visit to three enchanted villages full of fairytale cottages, beautiful flower gardens and romantic stone churches hundreds of years old: it is a real ‘full immersion’ into the fascinating lifestyle of the English countryside and its traditions guided by those who live there. The tour is based on my experience of living in the village of Chawton and will allow you to discover with me the charm of the English countryside in one of the most exclusive areas of England.
