Well, before Tolkien I didn't know what either a barrow or a downs was...

Living where I do, only a few miles away from both a barrow and a downs I was aware of those words

We visited them a few years back, after I'd read the books, and it was great fun imagining the Wights and Bombadil and the poor little Hobbits.
