89 placemarks show almost all the places quoted in Shakespeare's plays.
For each place, the name of the play is noted with the number of the scene of the first appearence of the place.
Some places are in many plays, all are mentioned.
2 places are still missing, does anyone know where they are ?
The Earl of Gloucester's castle., King Lear : 1, 2
Yorkshire, Gaultree forest, Henry IV, part 2: 4, 1
Special thanks to pm77, kenromford, mikebolland , Keith_F, LuciaM and grimsacre.
(edited by Seer: this is such a wonderful post that I could not help but add a custom icon for the placemarks.  )

Kudos on this one its an inspired piece of work!!
Shakespeare probably made some of the places up so you obviously wouldnt find them
