I've noticed that most of the places where the good characters in books come from are some sort of paradise which is closely tied to the Shire in imagery. For example the farm Garion lives on at the beginning of the Belgariad (By: David Eddings) He lives in a country with rolling hills, farmland,big trees, and other lucious vegetation. (Opposed to the evil characters who live in some sort of desert or swamp)
I also see Rivendell, a place of learning, represented by the wizard's vale. There a group of Sorcerers whom study magic while at the same time it's also a quiet haven where no evil can enter. Just like Rivendell it offers the heroes a time of peace and respite from their adventures.
