For travellers with literary imaginations, the world is crammed full of places that have inspired writers to bring their characters to life there - from Pooh Bear's wood to Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

Some are well known, and well trodden - others have been forgotten. For many, literary locations make a great reason for a driving holiday. But even if you don't plan your whole holiday around a literary theme, watch out for what's nearby when you go on holiday. Often locations will have museums attached, and these are often some of the best and most interesting museums in the area.
