I think the issue, Lal, might be that us North Americans don't have the likes of The Quiet Woman pub to start us off on our hikes.
  Those are great pictures, Helen, much more suitable than Mount Baker, which I first hiked as a young lass of eight, when my four year old brother climbed three feet up a tree and then couldn't get down. By the by, Canada apparently has more lakes than the entire rest of the world combined, so I must find me some lake pictures that don't look like muskeg or moose meadow. Surely there are some.

I have hiked on a trail on the Oregon coast that is actually called "The Hobbit Trail".
It is mossy and the bushes arch over the trail and form a "tunnel". It reminds me of the trails to the Withywindle. Hobbit Trail

 It reminded me of another cool Hobbity place to have a walk - around Robin Hood's Bay and Boggle Hole - the latter is in fact named after hobgoblins who live in the area (along with the very scary Barguest  ). Most appropriate.Here's a decent walk I found: http://www.dalesman.co.uk/walks/robinhoods.htm Alternatively you could just walk down the beach (at low tide only), looking in the rockpools on the way, and have a shorter walk but more time in the pub later and then you are guaranteed to see Hobgoblins.

Wow! Very Beautiful. Perhaps some day Helen and I will come and visit you there. We do love to hike together. Singing required, of course!

...singing required...
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
beneath the roof there is a bed, but not yet weary are our feet-- Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone that none have seen but we alone.

I tried to find pics of the Deer Lake Trail we hiked to but there's nothing out there.
That was the most fun of all! Even the rain didn't stop us!
