Fans of period dramas eagerly await new seasons, and Bridgerton fans are no exception. The upcoming season starts Jan. 29, 2026, and it’s gearing up the yearly demand for set-jetting experiences in England. (Set-jetting, for the uninitiated, is when travelers plan itineraries around film and television locations.) With the show preparing to hit the airwaves, Active England Tours is offering The Ton’s Grand Tour: Bridgerton Edition, an itinerary designed around some of the most recognizable sites featured in the Netflix series.

Bridgerton Comes to Life

The tour allows your clients to explore filming locations that shaped the show’s visual storytelling while engaging with the country’s cultural and historical landmarks. Guests can choose between a fully guided experience or a self-paced route supported by Active England’s local team. Accommodations include boutique inns and converted country houses, with daily cycling or walking routes that vary by itinerary. Trips are typically divided by region, ensuring manageable travel distances and time for sightseeing and leisure.

In London and Greenwich, participants visit Ranger’s House—used as the Bridgerton family’s exterior—and the Old Royal Naval College. North of the capital, Blenheim Palace exemplifies English Baroque architecture and serves as a recognizable stand-in for the homes of high society in the show’s narrative. The Cotswolds portion of the route includes stops in market towns and stone-built villages that visually match Regency-era settings. Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage city, remains central to the tour with locations such as the Royal Crescent, Holburne Museum, and Assembly Rooms—regular features throughout multiple seasons of the hit show.

Active England Tours structures The Ton’s Grand Tour to operate in an active format, with itineraries ranging from cycling adventures covering about 20 to 30 miles per day to walking programs at a slower pace. Electric bike options and support vehicles are available. Each tour blends access to authentic filming sites with opportunities to experience local dining, artisan producers and historic pubs.

The company emphasizes British-led guides and sustainable, low-impact travel through countryside routes and small-group departures. Departures for 2026 are now open for booking.
