A reader has mentioned that with good effect he used Google Maps to follow the plot of one of my books. This gave me the idea of listing all the place-names that occur in my stories, indicating which are fictitious and which real. Links are given to the relevant pages at Google Maps or Wikipedia, whichever is more appropriate.
In this post I detail the places mentioned in the Pagans trilogy; succeeding posts will deal with the other books.

Thanks for this, Richard. I did not know that The Trundle was a real place!
