Literary Locations

Books include stories which take us to other worlds and they're a big influence on the real destinations we choose to visit.

In a recent survey conducted by Explore Worldwide, 72% said that a novel had inspired them to travel somewhere new, and their Four Corners Book Club connects readers with destinations based on literature. Whether it's traversing the abandoned island of Spinalonga (Victoria Hislop's The Island), or hiking across Bodmin moor (Daphne Du Maurier's Jamaica Inn), be inspired for your next read or trip with our curated collection.
