The UK has some amazing attractions to offer locals and visitors. There is stunning countryside, exciting cities, jaw-dropping coastline, and fascinating historical sites. There are also many sites that are incredibly significant within the world of literature. Whether it’s the home of a famous author or the setting of an iconic scene, there are plenty of intriguing literary-themed areas to explore. If you want to plan a tour of some of these areas, then here are a few to add to your list. 

Haworth, Yorkshire

This charming village in the picturesque county of Yorkshire was home to the Brontë sisters and was where they wrote many of their most beloved stories. The village itself is a beautiful spot to explore, with pretty cobbled streets, cute shops and cafes, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. 

Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire

This ancient woodland is a wonderful place to explore. Its life as a forest began at the end of the last ice age, so its mystical winding paths have many tales to tell. This forest is also known as the home of the fictional character Robin Hood, and where many of his exciting adventures took place. 

Shakespeare’s Globe, London

This working theatre is an incredibly realistic reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays in the 1500s. It’s built in the same area as the original, on the south bank of the River Thames, and hosts many plays and performances.

Europe has an amazing history, and plenty of culture and literature to go alongside it. If you’re big on reading, or simply want to experience the setting of your favorite book, check out these literary destinations across Europe.

Lake Geneva, Switzerland

Whilst it has been used in several books as a stunning, dramatic setting, Lake Geneva is also the location where Mary Shelley came up with the idea for her novel Frankenstein. Legend has it that in the summer of 1816, in the Villa Diodati on the shores of Lake Geneva, Mary and her husband Percy were holidaying with Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori. As the famed writers told each other ghost tales around the fire one night, the idea for Frankenstein came to Mary and she began writing the classic Gothic novel.

Cephalonia, Greece

This beautiful Greek island is described in luscious detail in Louis de Bernières novel Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. This touching novel is set during the Italian and German occupation of the island in World War Two, so reading it also helps you learn about Cephalonia’s recent traumatic past. Stroll along beaches, dine at sea-view bars, and take in the Greek culture and lifestyle on this gorgeous island.

Verona, Italy

One of the most famous love stories of all time is set in this ancient Italian city. Although it’s unclear whether Shakespeare ever actually travelled to Verona, you can visit ‘Juliet’s Balcony’, a beautiful ornate carved balcony where it is easy to imagine the young woman scanning the garden for a sign of her lover. The city’s association with Romeo and Juliet mean that it is a hotspot for romantic getaways, and with the stunning streets, gorgeous cafes, and beautiful river running right through the city, it’s easy to see why.

Whether you’re seeking a literary adventure, or just want a beautiful setting where you can start reading a new book, it’s easy to see why writers and thinkers have been drawn to these beautiful places over the centuries.
