For those with an iphone / android phone can download software that will allow you to use your phones GPS to plot your position as you go. It then matches the time your camera took the pictures with the time/location of your phone.

Cannot recommend personally but seems to have good reviews.

You dont need to download anything with an iPhone, it already does it.

I'm guessing all the app does is tally the timestamp on your photos, with the relevant timed track data from the gps.
You can probably do that yourself with a gps enabled phone, and free tracking software.
If the app is only a couple of quid, sounds worth it to save you having to map the gps and exif data yourself - unless you're a software developer

If you've got your iPhone with you, you could also take a photo with your iPhone at each shooting location, then use an exif editor or similar app to copy the GPS data over to your dSLR photos.

The other simple thing to do is take a photo of the location that will identify it. The plaque that says "Bolton Abbey" or whatever else is around.
