Travel Guide
London and Yorkshire
Winterthorne is fictional but somewhere between Welton and Keyingham in Yorkshire. The author says in her note that she was actually inspired by York and Whitby which she visited several times as a child.
Winterthorne is a wonderful place in the novel – the maze is something that would really be worth seeing!
