Tolkien Trail

Lancashire

10 km / 6 miles
A short trail passing Stonyhurst College where J. R. R. Tolkien stayed frequently in a guest house in the grounds and where he spent time writing the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The route includes a river section coincident with the Ribble Way so may be an interesting excursion for walkers on it.
