Well, so far I've consulted Google Maps (I love their satellite-view function), Wikipedia, a road-atlas of England (not sure why we even have that, but I love it), and various Internet sites on Arthurian legends, crop circles, and Stonehenge.

(There's this theory I like that says crop circles are caused by magnetic vortex action at the intersection of ley lines. Basically the same force that's at work in the Bermuda Triangle under another theory I like, except that - like the internal fires of the earth, which instead of breaking out in a volcano at Bath, take the quintessentially British form of hot water - it has been transmogrified by its location and, in England, draws pretty pictures on the ground instead of swallowing people alive.)

(Now why can't I write like that when I'm trying to write this crossover character who indubitably talks that way?)

Random atlases are marvelous things to have sitting around. I have the National Geographic World Atlas from 1986, which I acquired in grad school. It sat on the bookshelf for years, as the maps swiftly became more and more obsolete.

Then I started writing Macfic, and realised I own an atlas that has preserved the political landscape of Mac's era. It gets a lot of use now.
