JRR Tolkien may be the most imaginative, remarkable and influential author in our lovely country. His two most famous creations, "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" are probably the masterpieces of the fantasy literature. This tour is dedicated to John Ronald Reuel Tolkien in Oxfordshire. Let's not forget J. K. Rowling as well. In Oxford, we will see the pubs where the Inklings met to discuss his famous works "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". Our professional blue badge guides will show you various Oxford Colleges and other important places connected to him. We will follow the footsteps of Tolkien. Our journey leads us to magnificent Stonehenge where we will reveal its mystery. After spending an hour, we shall either proceed to London or we may add some important locations such as Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace or Salisbury or Bath. You decide, so please contact us.

Cần Quan Tâm
Wolvercote Cemetery
Wolvercote Cemetery is in the parish of Wolvercote, Oxford, England. Its main entrance is on Banbury Road and it has a side entrance in Five Mile Drive. It has a funeral chapel and public toilets. The cemetery was opened in 1889 and now contains more than 15,000 burials. The grave of JRR and Edith Tolkien is one of the graves in the cemetery. When it was time for him to join Edith in ‘Middle-earth’ in September 1973 (aged 81), Tolkien was buried in the same grave in Wolvercote Cemetery, which is about 1¾ miles further north than Tolkien’s former homes in Northmoor Road. The grave bears not only the names of husband and wife but also Beren (male) and Lúthien (female), characters and lovers from ‘The Silmarillion’. It seems that Tolkien was just an old romantic. In fiction, Beren is killed but restored to life as a result of Lúthien’s pleading. In reality, there was no ‘second-coming’ for JRR perhaps because his real Lúthien had already predeceased him.
Tolkien's Oxford House
In Oxford, perhaps the most famous resident of Northmoor Road was the Oxford academic and author J. R. R. Tolkien. He lived at No. 22 in 1926–30 and then a larger house at No. 20 in 1930–47. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and most of The Lord of the Rings while living at 20 Northmoor Road. There is now a blue plaque on the house. After Wolvercote Cemetery, we will visit both his houses in Oxford.
