Thank you, bboy_mn.  I had tried looking up "Wiltshire" on Yahoo but
could not find a map of it.  The cities you listed helped -- I could
at least locate the right area of the country.

Stonehenge!  Oooo, I like that area for the Malfoy estate.  I was at
Stonehenge once, right in the middle of it.  I really did feel like it
meant something.  Of course, that could just be because I personally
like vast things, like the ocean or a landscape with a very far
horizon.  Even the wheels and axles and things under a locomotive --
such a great heavy _weight_ of iron, which is why I like real trains
and not model ones.  All right, I'm rambling now, but since I am
*such* a muggle I doubted I was feeling any mystical vibrations from
Stonehenge, even if there are any...

I did find some on Yahoo by searching for Swindon.  Although I
couldn't find *any* that showed the borders of the county, I could get
the general idea of the area.  If you had a map showing the borders,
I'd be interested to see it!

Thanks again.
