Meryton is a fictional town in Jane Austen's novels. In the footnotes of Pride and Prejudice in Chapter 3, Meryton is 24 miles from London. It is a small town that lies in between Longbourn and Netherfield in Hertfordshire. The two youngest Bennet sisters, Lydia and Kitty, love to go there and often go unsupervised.
