If you are trying to locate a place in the U.K., very goo dmaps to use are the Ordnance Survey Maps. They are kind of like the U.S. Geological Survey maps. You can look at the Ordnance Survey gazetteer on http://www.campus.bt.com/CampusWorld/pub/OS/Gazetteer/index.html It will tell you the county, the number of the 'Landranger' sheet it's on (this is a set of about 200 map sheets covering the whole UK in 25 mile squares at 1:50,000) and a 4-figure reference for the UK British National Grid, which positions it within a one-kilometer square. I have been sucessful at purchasing the maps through a local bookstore in Portland Oregon called Powell's Books. You need to know which 'Landranger' sheet number, however.
