Have you taken a trip to a place in a book/author's house?

A Da Vinci Code tour?

Been to Shakespeare's house or actually gone to Norfolk Island?

I want to go to all the places in my books but I don't get to.

Kismet I think

so you have a famous cat out of that deal as well

now that is a literary adventure!

I like Hemingway but some people around here are not impressed. Well, I liked Hemingway until I went to a real bullfight, anyway, and the bullfighters were not very good, and that is about all I have to say about that.

I saw a log cabin Zane Grey once lived in in Torrey, Utah.

While I was living at UK.

I really spent my days Off around visiting historical (Mostly Literary) Places

One of the best was the House of Jane Austen

It is really lovely in the middle of a small village called Chawton in Hampshire. And I was nexto to the chair and Table where she wrote mostly of her best-Sellers.

So I was touched



Just to Specify it was fairly rainning when I visit.

I regularly go to Stratford Upon Avon as it's only a short drive away from where I live, it's great to be around Shakespeare's home turf and Anne Hathaway's cottage is well worth a visit.

I agree, Ant, so quaint and pretty.

My most memorable house visits were those inhabited at one time or another by Beatrix Potter, author of Tales Of Peter Rabbit. She used to go on summer holidays away from London to Scotland and the Lake District and wrote her unique animal stories using actual places, Hill Top Farm, villages, houses and gardens. There were many connections to her work, each with memorabilia, and I could see why the Ambleside landscape inspired her with its rural beauty.

Of course the Thomas Wolfe House here in the mts. of N.C., very big tourist attraction...

It was the family home, as well as a boarding house...

[ALynnPowers]

I had no idea that such kinds of tour existed! I am so out of touch with the rest of the world!

[Ealasaid]

I have visted Hemingway's home in Key West, FL, as well as Nathaniel Hawthorne's birthplace in Salem, MA.

Seems a few have been to Hemingway's house in Key West. Me, too. I've been to Dickens' home on Doughty Sreet in London. Also some Russian writer's home (I don't remember his name) near St. Petersburg, Russia. Probably a few others I'm not remembering.

Not yet, but I hope to one day! I think that would be a truly lovely source of inspiration, would get my creative juices flowing for sure.

[Jolyon Trevelyan]

I have been been at the house were Arne Garborg lived. Arne Garborg is a Norwegian author who lived between 1851 and 1924.
