Gambaran keseluruhan

The Cotswolds is not just beautiful—it is quietly magical. Rolling green hills, honey-coloured stone villages, winding lanes, and ancient doorways create a world that feels older than memory itself.
J. R. R. Tolkien walked these paths, rested in its inns, and drew inspiration from its timeless atmosphere. Many believe these landscapes helped shape the Shire, Bree, and the more mysterious edges of Middle-earth.
On this journey, you’ll follow in Tolkien’s footsteps and uncover places that echo his legendary world:

• Discover a remarkable “Hobbit Door,” that inspired the Doors of Durin.
• Visit a hilltop folly reminiscent of Amon Hen, the legendary Seat of Seeing.
• Step inside the historic Bell Inn, long thought to have inspired Bree’s Prancing Pony.
• Stand at the Four Shire Stone, believed to echo the Three-Farthings Stone.
• The haunting Rollright Stones, linked to the Barrow-downs where Tolkien wrote of stone rings “grinning out of the ground like broken teeth in the moonlight.”

Jadual perjalanan aktiviti

Swinbrook (Sambil lalu)

A beautiful Cotswolds village surrounded by rolling hills that conjure up images of the Shire.

Stow-on-the-Wold

45m

A quintessential Cotswolds market town, steeped in old-world charm. Here we’ll discover the curious ‘Hobbit Door’ — a hidden gem said to have inspired Tolkien’s vision of the Doors of Durin, the secret western entrance to Moria.

Snowshill (Sambil lalu)

A scenic drive through the Cotswold Hills, said to be the inspiration for 'The Wold' - the windy upland plain in the 'Kingdom of Rohan'.

Broadway Tower

1j 30m

Walk through a shadowy, mysterious woodland to Broadway Tower, an 18th-century folly rising dramatically above the Cotswold hills. Did this striking landmark inspire Tolkien’s vision of Amon Hen, the ‘Seat of Seeing’? Standing here, with sweeping views in every direction, it’s easy to imagine how such a place could have stirred his imagination.

Moreton-in-Marsh

40m

In the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, a traditional Cotswold market town with a history stretching back to the Saxons, stands the historic Bell Inn. Once a bustling coaching inn on the old London–Worcester road, it was here that Tolkien often met with his brother. Many believe this welcoming hostelry inspired the Prancing Pony, the famous inn at Bree in Middle-earth. Step inside for a drink at Tolkien’s old haunt and you’ll find a vast map of Middle-earth celebrating its literary connection. Beyond the inn itself, Moreton bears more than a passing resemblance to Bree: Tolkien described the village as having ‘some hundred stone houses of the Big Folk’ — a picture that perfectly matches Moreton’s stone-built cottages clustered around its broad market square.

Great Wolford

10m

Alongside a leafy country lane stands the Four Shire Stone, an 18th-century marker that once signified the meeting point of four counties — Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire. For centuries, it served as a waymarker for travellers moving through the Cotswolds. Many Lord of the Rings enthusiasts believe it inspired the Three-Farthings Stone in the Shire — the symbolic centre of hobbit country. In Tolkien’s tale, it is here that Samwise Gamgee scatters the dust of Lothlórien, Galadriel’s gift, to restore a Shire left scarred by Sharkey and his men. Standing beside this weathered stone, it’s easy to imagine Tolkien blending real English landmarks with the deep history and myth that shaped Middle-earth.

Rollright Stones

1j

This mysterious collection of prehistoric monuments is believed to have inspired Tolkien’s eerie Barrow-downs, the haunted resting place of the Dúnedain. As you wander among the ancient, weather-worn stones, it’s easy to imagine Barrow-wights stirring in the shadows. In Tolkien’s words, “stone rings grinned out of the ground like broken teeth in the moonlight.” This haunting image perfectly fits the Rollright Stones.
