I use a Freeware program called Parloc (Parish locator) which is simples to use and gives distances between parishes. You can also ask it for all the parish names within any radius of your starting parish. There are a few other things it can do too, but those are the most useful.

Even then, I often end up looking on a map too as sometimes places are close together, but may have something in their geography keeping people apart such as a wide river with no bridge, or whatever, that Parloc isn't going to tell you about!

I use parloc. I love it but it doesn't include places that aren't parishes.

Then there are times I just forget to use it ...
