May 2nd: After arriving in Bakewell, I will check into my room at the Fischer's Baslow Hall, where I will be staying for 2 nights. The rest of the day will be spent getting settled and getting used to the time change. I will end the day by grabbing dinner in town.

May 3rd: After having breakfast at the hotel, I will drive 7 minutes down the road to visit the Chatsworth House. Chatsworth House is my first of six book-related stops on this trip, and it is connected to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I will tour the house and the estate's gardens throughout the afternoon, then grab a late-lunch in town and explore the landscapes, architecture, and shops of Bakewell. I plan to grab dinner at a local pub that evening.

May 4th: After breakfast in the morning, I will check out of Fischer's Baslow Hall and make a 3-hour drive to Oxford, UK.
