Literary Signpost

I have started a new project and would like some help with it. I want to develop a “literary signpost” with some lesser-known locations from literature. I’m sure you’ve all seen something of the type with children’s and YA locations (Hogwarts, Wonderland, Narnia, etc.) but I am looking for adult literature locations. My particular interests are classic lit and 18th and early 19th century adventure novels (Haggard, Verne, Wells, etc.) but I will leave it open to any suggestions.
Thank you for any ideas you would like to offer.

Lilliput?

Pemberley
Walden Pond
Yoknapatawpha County

This list is somewhat related; I've been contributing, wish it was more popular: https://www.librarything.com/list/11449/all/Welcome-to-Ruritania%21

>3 Marissa_Doyle:, your mentioning (the very real) Walden Pond triggers the question, is this to be a list only of fictional places?

So do you want fictional literary places, or real world places made famous in literature, or both?

Fictional:
Camelot
Mordor (or The Shire)
Barsoom
St. Mary Mead (home of Miss Marple)

Real Word:
Ithaca
Chateau d'If

I was thinking of fictional places but that are not in the title of a book. These have been very good, thanks

Shrewsbury College, Oxford (from Gaudy Night, by Dorothy L. Sayers)

Manderley, as in "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again", the opening line of Rebecca.

There's probably quite a few fictitious Oxbridge colleges. A couple more:
Judas College, Oxford, in Zuleika Dobson by Max Beerbohm
Porterhouse College, Cambridge, in Porterhouse Blue by Tom Sharpe.

In fact, not entirely to my surprise, Wikipedia has lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_Oxford_colleges and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_Cambridge_colleges. Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_Oxbridge_colleges.

>4 Cecrow: Nice project. We've got an older thread on just that topic:

Thomas Hardy's Wessex

Zola's Plassans (= real Aix-en-Provence) - like Hardy's Wessex, it's a real place with a false name

Patusan (from Lord Jim)

Ursula K Le Guin's Malafrena, in Malafrena

And also her Orsinia, in Orsinian Tales and The Complete Orsinia

Raymond Chandler's Bay City, in Farewell my Lovely, a stand-in for Santa Monica; Little Fawn Lake, AKA Big Bear Lake, in The Lady in the Lake; Palm Springs was Poodle Springs in the book finished by Robert B. Parker.

Kinsey Milhone lives in Santa Teresa, Sue Grafton's version of Santa Barbara, which she named in homage to Ross Macdonald. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Teresa_(fictional_city)
