Just about 20 miles from Sarehole, where Tolkien spent the best days of his childhood, there is an ancient settlement consisting of about 400-years old caveish houses carved into a sandstone rock. It is unknown whether these directly inspired Tolkien in shaping the dwelling culture of his invented Hobbits, but the place sure gives a Hobbiton-like impression, and since Tolkien lived nearby, he might have known about it.
A page for all Tolkien lovers.
We used to run a fan page of the same name on Facebook since 2015 and on Instagram since 2018. Due to the policy changes on those platforms, we decided to move elsewhere. So here we are! You can also find us on MeWe.
The admins are two ladies from Central and South Europe. One of them researches Tolkien’s work academically. So you can expect to find here shared a wide range of contents, from fan art and Tolkienesque crafts, through the professor’s own art and lore, to serious academic insights on his work... anything appreciative of J. R. R. Tolkien’s creation.
Enjoy!
