The town of Alton, in the south of England, is a typical old-style British town containing all the charms of a bygone era. It was here that Jane Austen spent her final years finishing her great works, including "Pride and Prejudice." Book a stay in one of the lovely Alton hotels, and enjoy quiet days walking in the countryside, riding a steam train, or having a pint in a traditional thatched-roof pub.
Get a feel for how one of the world's most famous authors lived at Jane Austen's House Museum, just on the outskirts of town. It's a great peak into the past of not only Jane Austen, but of 19th century English life in general. To indulge in more history, take a ride on the Mid Hants Railway, known as the Watercress Line, an old-style steam train that runs 10 miles to the village of New Alresford, another delightful old place. South Downs National Park is also right on your doorstep, and you can spend long hours walking there in the fresh air of the beautiful English countryside. You can get some great Alton hotel deals that will let you enjoy all this and more.
There are a lot of pubs and restaurants in Alton that serve classic British food, such as fish and chips, sausages and mashed potatoes, and meat pies. Wash it down with a glass of cider or real ale brewed in the area. Many hotels in Alton also have restaurants where you can enjoy some fine dining. The best are located along, or just off, High Street.
