Lots of side trips available to places such as Upper and Lower Dicker (East Sussex), Scratchy Bottom (Dorset) and Minge Lane (Worcestershire).

The Saga of Pliocene Exile / Galactic Milieu series by Julian May. The best sci-fi books I've ever read for world-building and plot. Written in the '90s, hardly anyone remembers them, despite their success at the time.
