Where is your Middle Earth? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is my first attempt at starting a topic and only my hundreth posting so sorry if I make mistakes.
I got to thinking about where in the world that you think matches places in Middle Earth, not influenced by Peter Jackson but personal feelings.
Two of my own examples would be Cragside House in Northumberland (England) as Rivendell. It's a mock-gothic affair at the top of a wooded valley with a proper bubbling stream at the bottom. If you continue past the house and up into the woods you eventually come out onto the rather bleak Cheviot hills (moors really). All the land and stuff are open to the public. The other place is some caverns I visited in Croatia when I was eleven. They were near Lubijana and were a perfect Moria.
Any other locations you've been in and suddenly thought, wow this is Middle Earth?
