I live only about a 90-minute drive from Shrewsbury, where the books are set. Shrewsbury Abbey has a stained-glass window dedicated to the author (she left all the revenue from the books in her will to the Abbey) and they sell a little booklet with a number of walks you can do that show you the places featured in the books. It's very interesting.
