I’m surer there are a lot of these kinds of quibbles, but putting Barsetshire (from Anthony Trollope’s novels) on the coast seems inaccurate. In none of the Barsetshire novels, and there are six very long ones, is any reference made to a nearby seashore.

Can’t see Todday (Hebrides, Whisky Galore) or Sarn (Precious Bane).

You missed out the 1964 film “The System” starring Oliver Reed. Filmed on location in Torbay in Devon, the fictional town was called Roxham.

Although this is very cool, and I hate to do this, but I’m going to have to be the picky Welshman and point out that Cantre’r Gwaelod wasn’t an island. It was reclaimed land from the sea, like the Netherlands and although it probably wasn’t as large as it’s portrayed in legends, there’s real evidence to show it did exist. There’s sunken villages off the coast of Ceredigion / Aberystwyth area apparently.

Unable to read the map as print too small. Needs uploading as a PDF so people can zoom in and look at it properly

Much as I like this map the print is too small at normal resolution and too fuzzy when enlarged…
