Throwback: My day trip experience visiting Stourhead & Gardens, one of Pride & Prejudice (2005)’s filming locations!

Image
Wow, okay, I can't believe I forgot to post about this here (thankfully, I posted it on IG and can share the post I made about it) last year! So, I'm posting a throwback here with some more photos I didn't share last year, as it's been a year already since I visited Stourhead & Gardens (since I went on a holiday to London and Paris last year) last May 24, 2024 ! This day trip was so memorable and unforgettable experience for me (bucket list. Check!) finally visiting Stourhead , one of the filming locations for Pride & Prejudice (2005) movie. The iconic and fan-favorite first proposal in the rain scene was film there at Stourhead & Gardens especially the palladium bridge where Elizabeth Bennet run through just before Mr. Darcy proposed to her at The Temple of Apollo . Check out some photos below, which I took from Stourhead last May 2024 and see my IG posts video clips of the stunningly gorgeous place. I highly recommend you visit there, if you haven't...

Image
I posted here a year ago about the Principal photography for Pride & Prejudice film started this month six years ago . I thought I'd post here about it (again) this year with more cast interviews , on set , and behind the scenes info and images as it's been 7 years this month since they filmed the movie and shot entirely on location in the beautiful English countryside . I've been very fortunate to have visited at least two of those wonderful filming locations in Derbyshire (see some of my Photos: Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall as Pride & Prejudice's Pemberley and Inn at Lambton (P&P/Derbyshire filming locations) ) almost a year ago ( September 2010 ) when I went on My first European trip . Anyway, the 4-time Academy Award (as well as 2-time Golden Globe and 6-time BAFTA ) nominated 2005 film, Pride & Prejudice starring Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen began filming seven years ago last month ( J...

Travel to destinations featured in Pride & Prejudice Movies are often an inspiration for travelers, especially when the location is as beautiful as the English countryside. The fact that the East Midlands region of England was used extensively for location filming for Pride and Prejudice is especially fitting given that Jane Austen drew on the Derbyshire landscape for some of her most descriptive passages in the novel. Austen's descriptions of the county refer to there being "no finer county in England than Derbyshire", and feature "all the celebrated beauties of Matlock, Chatsworth, Dovedale, and the Peak". (from VisitBritain ) Here are some newly added and updated photos and locations (of the location/hous...
