Did Jackson take the 'English' out of the Legendarium? If so, how so?

It didn't feel very 'English' to me. Particularly the Shire - the light was wrong for a start & it just felt too 'alien', not recognisable as the kind of place I've lived & walked.
The BBC Radio adaptation, on the other hand, seemed to get across the essential Englishness of the story perfectly.
