cotswold, plains,dartmoor , lyoness (well was a mythical land on the end of cornwall that was lost to the sea) all exists in England

not sure on midgard names though

Many names in Midgard are equalent to names in Sweden, some zones are named after Swedish landskaps (almost the same counties), names like Uppland and Jamtland. Sweden is divided into 3 bigger areas: Götaland, Svealand and Norrland. In Midgard we have W Svealand, E Svealand and Gotar (I live in Götaland) for example, so there are lots of names taken from places which exist in Sweden.

Apparently, the name Albion is originally celtic, the romans however connected the name with the chalk cliffs of Dover.
