With Southampton an elegant and chic spa town, Jane partied, danced, entertained, walked, took pleasure boats and enjoyed the seaside air when living here 1806-1809. On the walk, our heritage guide will regale you with fascinating anecdotes and stories about Jane's connections to the city, pointing out key landmarks along the way.
