Where does Pride and Prejudice take place in England?

Answer 1

The novel is in England at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. We do not really know what the precise date is.

Most of the novel happens at Longbourne, an estate in Hertfordshire, England, where Lizzy lives with the rest of the Bennet family, and in the countryside around it, including the nearby estates of Netherfield and Lucas Lodge, and in the nearby town of Meryton.

Some of the action happens at Hunsford, Mr. Collins home in Kent, and the nearby estate of Rosings, the home of Lady Catherine. Some happens on the road between that area in Kent and Longbourne, including the home of the Gardiners, Lizzy's aunt and uncle, in the London area near Cheapside, a mercantile district.

Some very important action happens at Lambton, in Derbyshire, and on the nearby estate of Pemberley, which is owned by Darcy.

"Pride and Prejudice" takes place predominantly in the English countryside, with scenes set in various estates and towns such as Longbourn, Netherfield Park, and Pemberley. The novel is set during the Regency era in the early 19th century.

Answer 3

It is set in the English countryside, somewhere between the 18th and 19th centuries. It takes place at the estates of several different families:

Longbourn (the Bennets), Pemberley (the Darcys), Netherfield (the Bingleys), and Rosings (Lady Catherine) are the main estates.

Answer 4

Most of Pride and Prejudice takes place in a small town in Hertfordshire. The town of Meryton, and Longbourne, which is a mile away, are probably not more than twenty miles from London.

There are several people in the book who go to London, but we see their actions there mostly through reports of one type or another, such as letters.

Elizabeth goes on two important trips during the course of the novel, one to Hunsford, in Kent, southeast of London, and about fifty miles from Longbourne. Hunsford is near Rosings, Lady Catherine's estate, which Lizzy visits several times.

The second of Elizabeth's trips is to Derbyshire, perhaps 120 or 130 miles north of London (and very slightly west). There, Elizabeth visits the town of Lambton, where Mrs. Gardiner spent part of her childhood, and Pemberly, about five miles away, which is Darcy's estate.
