点评:This walk has many routes to it, however, the main ones are either a 10km route or a 17km route. The views and the surrounding area are exactly what you want on a walk, fresh air and green spaces with rolling hills and the rivers to marvel at too.
I am amazed that there are people on here who have slated this walk, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM.
I won't lie, there are two parts to the 10km route that have you going down some steep steps into woodland and then climbing up an incline towards the end of the route. These are no more than a minute or two to traverse. The Tolkein trail is not some interactive trail where individuals dressed as Lord of The Rings characters greet you along the walk, the trail is where Tolkein himself took many inspirations from the Ribble Valley area for elements in his books. The trail starts from the Shireburns Arms hotel where he was known to drink and the landowning family from his days were called the Shireburns where he took inspiration from their name for his books and the surrounding landscape for the setting of the Shire and it's place names.
There are fenced off parts of the route, small parts of the route however, obviously there to keep people off of private land. So yes, there are some narrow elements at times but nothing as dramatic as some people complaining on here make out.
Whatever inspiration you take from the route, it is certainly worth a visit and having a pint or two in the Shireburn Arms afterwards is very much worth a visit.
翻译:这条徒步路线有很多,但主要路线要么是 10 公里路线,要么是 17 公里路线。风景和周边地区正是您在徒步时想要的,新鲜的空气和绿色空间,连绵起伏的山丘和河流也令人惊叹。
我很惊讶这里居然有人安排了这次徒步,不要听他们的。
我不会撒谎,10 公里的路线分为两部分,您需要走下陡峭的台阶进入林地,然后在路线的尽头爬上斜坡。这些路程不超过一两分钟。托尔金小径不是那种互动小径,沿途会有打扮成指环王角色的人迎接您,托尔金本人从里布尔谷地区汲取了许多灵感,并将其融入到他的书中。这条路线从 Shireburns Arms 酒店开始,他在那里喝酒,他那个时代的地主家庭被称为 Shireburns,他从他们的名字中汲取灵感,创作了他的书籍,并根据周围的景观创作了夏尔及其地名。
这条路线的部分路段被栅栏隔开,但只有一小部分路段,显然是为了防止人们进入私人土地。所以是的,有时会有一些狭窄的地方,但并不像这里的一些人抱怨的那样引人注目。
无论您从这条路线中获得了什么灵感,它都值得一游,之后在 Shireburn Arms 喝上一两品脱啤酒是非常值得一游的。
