Jane Austen\u2019s beloved novel Pride & Prejudice<\/a> has been adapted numerous times for both the small and silver screen, and the setting is always every bit as romantic and sumptuous as its love story.<\/p>\n

Set in the early 19th century, the story follows the five Bennet sisters as they are tasked with finding a respectable and wealthy suitor with whom to settle down. When the intelligent and inquisitive Elizabeth Bennet meets the eligible Mr Darcy, he reluctantly begins to fall for the young woman\u2019s charms, despite her being considered a woman beneath his class.<\/p>\n

Arguably the most famous film adaptation is Joe Wright\u2019s 2005 retelling, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth, for which she was Oscar nominated, opposite Succession<\/a> star Matthew Macfadyen as Mr Darcy.<\/p>\n

The impressive ensemble cast also includes Rosamund Pike as Jane Bennet, Talulah Riley as Mary Bennet, Jena Malone as Lydia Bennet and Carey Mulligan as Kitty Bennet. Brenda Blethyn plays the Bennet matriarch to Donald Sutherland\u2019s Mr Bennet.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wondered where the Bennet family\u2019s home of Longbourn was set or where Darcy\u2019s estate Pemberley was filmed, we\u2019ve found all the breathtaking locations across the UK, many of which are open to the public.<\/p>\n

Read on for details of where Pride and Prejudice was set and filmed below.<\/p>\n

Though the Bennet family home is described as \u201cmodest\u201d in the novel, there\u2019s nothing small or stuffy about Groombridge Place, where their house is set, which is a moated country house built in the 17th century,<\/p>\n

Groombridge House is a private residence, but the property can be hired as a wedding venue. The gardens, canal and forest at Groombridge Place<\/a> are open to the public.<\/p>\n

Mr Bingley\u2019s House, Netherfield<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Suitor Charles Bingley, who pursues Jane Bennet (Rosamund Pike), lets a house called Netherfield near the Bennet family home. The property takes centre stage as the breathtaking 18th century Palladian mansion Basildon Park.<\/p>\n

The estate, which was saved from demolition and is now part of the National Trust, is regularly open to the public, but you\u2019ll need to check its open dates online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
