Celebrate the season of harvest with the lavish bounty of magnificent British vistas and literary landmarks collected in Victoria’s September/October double issue. Within these pages, a spectacle of fall color unfurls across the countryside estates of Highclere Castle, Traquair House, and Chatsworth—the grand manor serving as Pemberley in the 2005 cinematic masterpiece Pride & Prejudice. Farther north, take in rugged beauty aboard the luxurious Royal Scotsman train, and venture on an excursion to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, with its storied spots and fitting tributes to Scotland’s most famous bard. In London, visit an unassuming antiques shop holding a cache of treasures and stroll through Covent Garden, where a panoply of shopping and dining options caters to every taste. Henry’s Townhouse, a Regency-era retreat where Jane Austen’s beloved brother once resided, proves a calm oasis for slumber. Topping off these delightful discoveries, autumn-inspired teatime recipes evoke the artistry of famed Romantic painter John Constable, and Victoria photographer Jane Hope extends a warm welcome to her garden, where a tantalizing array of orchard fare abounds.
