I always start with maps when I am writing about places and planning trips in the UK. Old maps in particular add layers of knowledge to a place. Cities change all the time but it is also fascinating to see the changes to even a rural landscape, places that we think have stayed the same for centuries. I like to read the place names for woods and hills and think about how they came about too.
