Tolkien Trail

J. R. R. Tolkien was renowned for his love of nature and wooded landscapes so no wonder that a number of names which occur in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ are similar to those found locally because the countryside around Stonyhurst is so richly beautiful. This walk takes in views along the River Hodder, around the village of Hurst Green and of course there is always a view of Pendle Hill in the distance, it doesn't surprise me that he was inspired to use them in his book because around every corner is another gem of a view in this area of stunning beauty.
