[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] The Purbeck Hills in Dorset - they even have the ruins of Corfe Castle masquerading as Weathertop. Lots of lovely barrows and downs to climb and plenty of trees. Only thing that spoils the effect is the presence of the sea on one side (complete with the cries of the gulls)! most of my walk to rivendell is being undertaken here as it is the closest place i can find that matches my idea of Middle Earth.
