i do this quite often
i'm in the uk so i can't throw a stone without hitting something that has some association with a famous writer
i live a couple of miles from jane austen's house
it helps that we have a couple of national organisations (the national trust and english heritage) that preserve buildings associated with famous people. for example i've been to rudyard kipling's house a few times
i have a couple of books like pic related which i look at whenever i'm going to a new place

We're in the UK so there are plenty to choose from and there are guidebooks and gazetteers that concentrate on literary sites- pic related for example. Also the National Trust (heritage organisation that runs historical sites etc as tourist attractions) own several writer's houses so they are open to the public and we've been to several of them- example include Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Virginia Woolf, Agatha Christie, Henry James/EF Benson (they lived in the same house, at different times of course) and others (see list at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/article-1356402264659/))

A while ago we sat on Watership Down (it's a real place), reading Watership Down. We sat on the beach in Brighton, reading Brighton Rock. We walked and drove around the town of Rochester where there are several places associated with Charles Dickens and hung around with the goths in Whitby which is a pretty /lit/ sort of town (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitby#Literature).). /lit/ girls are best girls.
