This work attempts to provide an outline of spatial thinking and of knowledge of geography among men and women during the high Middle Ages. The core analysis is a study of 13th and 14th-century Somerset and of 14th-century Sweden. It demonstrates that local travel in this period was significant - medieval Europeans were certainly not the isolated village-dwellers that they have often beendescribed as. Neither steep mountains nor vast moorlands were formidable enough to stop people in the high Middle Ages from going wherever they wanted to go.
