6. 6

   Broadway Tower

   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.

   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.

   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.

9. 9

   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.
