I've started to cast my eye about for appropriate 6mm terrain - another lovely excuse to spend Hobby money! So what do I think we need? Enough terrain for a 4 x 4 or so sized table, including a river, a few roads, some bridges, and a town or two.
First up, Baccus (whose lovely figures we are using) is an easy starting place with this nice village set

Here are some other manufacturers of 6mm Terrain that I've come across:

While its listed in their Napoleonic rage, Leven Miniatures make a nice fortified Manor House that would do nicely as a Royalist stronghold

Leven also make these fine Tudor Style buildings - can't have an English village without a pub now can we!

| GEN11 - Tudor Style Public House |
 |
| HOU14 - Detached Tudor style house |
Dungeon Castings make this nice "House with Tower" as an alternative Manor House (
DC-D0118)

Total Battle Miniatures also do this fantastic walled town set - very pretty but not sure if I need to drop 65 pounds on it at this stage and instead of buying more functional terrain. Very shiny though! Would make a great centrepiece for a Campaign.
The unpainted pics show what you get in better detail I think:
And finally, what kind of Royalist would I be without a good keep or castle to fall back on? However, my quick look around didn't
provide me with the ample options I expected. I thought for sure there would be many examples of big '5 star' castles like Conwy, Raglan or Caernarfon. What I'd really like is a nice tower like Donnington (where the battle of Newbury was fought in 1644).

And finally, some inspiration for baggage/camp elements here (all made with Baccus figures):

If you other suggestions or recommendations for us I'd love to hear them!
