A picture of Hurst Green, a Picturesque Village in the county of Lancashire

Tolkien visited this area frequently in the 1940's when his eldest son John was studying for the priesthood at Stoneyhurst College. Many of the areas around Hurst Green are based on places mentioned in The Lord of The Rings book, Brandywine Bridge was based on Cromwell Bridge - it's very easy to imagine dwarves crossing this old bridge.
