Did you know J.R.R. Tolkien began building Middle-earth right here in Oxford? 🧙♂️📚 And his close friend, C.S. Lewis, created Narnia in the same city!
Here are 5 must-see spots to connect with their magical worlds:
💡 1. St Mary's Passage - Said to have sparked C.S. Lewis' imagination for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
🍻 2. The Eagle and Child Pub - The Inklings' legendary haunt, where stories were shared,
critiqued, and magic was born.
🏠 3. Tolkien's Home (20 Northmoor Road) - Peek outside the house where The Hobbit was written
and Middle-earth first took shape.
📖 4. The Bodleian Libraries - C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien have studied in its reading rooms.
🌳 5. Exeter College and Christ Church Meadow - Stroll the paths that fuelled their imaginations, from
secret corners to riverside walks.
