Georgia Oakley’s Sense and Sensibility takes a deliberately grounded approach recreating the Jane Austen era. Aside from shooting on film and favoring authenticity over studio artifice, that commitment extended to its location scouting. Rather than building sets, the production took its cast on what amounts to a country house tour of Britain, from the windswept moors of Devon to the palaces of Oxfordshire and the Georgian streets of London. Many of the stately homes and grand estates that stand in for the Dashwoods’ world are real places that visitors can explore today.
Below, a glance at some of the most gorgeous real world locations from Sense and Sensibility.
