Hike Middle-earth with me - The Tolkien Trail

Whether you're a die-hard fan looking for "Hobbiton" or just a hiker after some classic English countryside, it's a beautiful way to see why Tolkien found such peace in this corner of Lancashire. The Tolkien Trail is a popular circular walk in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, let's explore the landscape believed to have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s vision of The Shire. Tolkien was a frequent visitor to the area in the 1940s while his son was a student (and later a teacher) at Stonyhurst College. It is during these stays that he is said to have written significant portions of The Lord of the Rings. @ngland/lancashire/tolkien-trail-hurst-green-and-river-ribble What 3 Words - Parking ///blurs.shuts.tonal
