There are beech groves nearby that sing to me of Lothlorien.
Pine ridges that remind me of Frodo's desire to check out the Pine Ridge in Rivendell.
Drumlins (that's what New Englanders call rocky outcroppings on the tops of old hills) remind me of trolls caves in the Ettenmoors.
Any beach reminds me of the Grey havens or of the older elf-havens to the south (Edhellond.)
Streams remind me of the stream near Bag End that both Bilbo and Frodo crossed as they departed (with the little wooden bridge, there are a few of those around.)
...I could go on and on...
