There are other dimensions to literary and artistic places. Squire 9,t° studied the reactions of visitors to Hill Top Farm, the former home of the writer Beatrix Potter, in the English Lake District. For many, the visit evoked meanings and emotions which were less connected with the writer and the content of her Peter Rabbit stories than with a nostalgic memory of childhood and family bonds, together with notions of Englishness, rurality and former lifestyles. The place acted as a 'medium through which a range of cultural meanings and values can be communicated'. In this sense the visit to a 'literary place' can correspond to that of a former home or the location of an intensely personal experience which evokes memories and allows them to be relived. A final attraction may be the place itself. Such places are commonly very attractive settings which, even without the literary or artistic connection, might draw visitors; the duality of general and specific attraction has to be recognized. There are also many heritage places which acquire specific meaning only because of a person or event associated with them. Without that connection, the place may be indistinguishable from any other. There are, for example, many churches in small towns and villages in the Paris region, but that at Auvers-sur-Oise is made exceptional by the Van Gogh painting. Sites of historic battles, such as Waterloo, are indistinguishable from surrounding landscapes but their role in some historic event marks them out. These are the specificities and they are likely to attract specific types of visitors, those who have some extant knowledge of the connection and are, in Urry's tl term, more discerning tourists of the romantic gaze. Other heritage places do not stand alone but are integral components of some wider setting. Notre Dame receives millions of visi- tor each year but for the large majority it is but one part of sightseeing in Paris; a collective gaze which has generalist purposes.
