Fifty miles to change your mind.
Jane Austen never gives the distance from Longbourn to Pemberley, and both houses are her own inventions. StoryTrek’s route sets it at 50 miles, with 12 waypoints drawn from the story. Every walk, run, or treadmill session your phone records carries you closer to Derbyshire.
How long the journey takes
| You walk | You reach the end in |
|---|---|
| 1 mile a day (2 km) | about 7 weeks |
| 2 miles a day (3 km) | about 25 days |
| 3 miles a day (5 km) | about 17 days |
| 5 miles a day (8 km) | about 10 days |
A 10,000-step day is roughly 4 to 5 miles, which gets you to the end in about 12 days.
First impressions, second thoughts.
The route begins at Longbourn, the Bennet family home, and follows Elizabeth to Meryton, to Rosings Park, Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s estate in Kent, and on through Lambton to Pemberley. It is the longer of StoryTrek’s two Pride and Prejudice routes; The Walk to Pemberley makes the same trip in 25 miles.
Each waypoint pairs one of Hugh Thomson’s drawings, restored and colorized, with a moment from the novel, a quotation, and a little historical context. Reach one, and the road to the next opens.
Walk it together
Start a company and walk it with a friend, a book club, or your office. Everyone covers their own miles, wherever they are, and the group arrives at Pemberley together.
