From Whence Hobbiton
From whence if you're asking the question, and the answer is, from here, here being Moseley, or Moseley Village, as the
locals still call it, that area of Birminghamw, where JRR grew up, of course then, Mosely was a seperate village, and Birmingham
was some distance off, a smoky vision, to the young Tolkien, and he himself, in later years stated that this vision of Industrial
Birmingham was the inspiration for the hell that was Mordor, in The Lord of the Rings

The Park contains wetlands,
grasslands, woodland and heath
supporting a wealth of animal
and plant life
this Birmingham nature reserve
that provided JRR Tolkien with
much of the inspiration for his
classic fantasy novels
been renamed in his honour.
