Spent the last year avoiding the news by escaping into novel after novel? If you’re not quite ready to let go of your literary lockdown, you should consider basing your next day out around the life of a famous author.
Here are our picks of the best holidays for every reader 👇
Here are our picks of the best holidays for every reader 👇
📍Agatha Christie’s Devon
The Queen of Mystery’s holiday home was no basic Airbnb. She described Greenway as ‘the loveliest place in the world.' It's now a National Trust property filled with trinkets from the writer’s life. Peep at her grand piano or browse the many bookshelves

📍Wordsworth’s Lake District
The poet lived at Dove Cottage, Grasmere. You can peer at his tiny glasses or his modified chair that let him gaze at the fells while writing. For the full package, visit Rydal Mount. It's decidedly grander, and where he lived at the end of his life

📍Tolkien’s Oxford
The fantasy writer was an academic at Merton College, Oxford, where he met scribe and buddy CS Lewis. True ‘Lord of the Rings’ fans should head to The Eurobar. It’s apparently where Tolkien got the inspiration for The Prancing Pony, Frodo’s fave boozer

📍The Brontës’ Yorkshire
Head to the Brontë Parsonage, the family home of the sisters. Then visit the local churchyard where Charlotte and Emily are buried. For the full Cathy experience, trek over the moors to Top Withens, the farmhouse rumoured to be the real Wuthering Heights
