Hobbit House in the Cotswolds

[Mr Sam]

now thats just awsome!!! imagine the time it took to build that

You may like to know that Tolkien got many of his ideas from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, the otherside of the river severn. He had the idea for 'middle earth' or hell on earth from a place called Lambsquay Woods, a open iron age metal digs now covered in trees which hug the rocks. I went ther last year at dusk and it is the most spookey place. The trees apear to become human and move, I have attached a link (I hope it works) from Geocaching.com, go to the gallery and look at the tree pictures and you will see what I mean!

Why the shame in being a geocacher?
It's a great way to find some interesting sites.

That's one of the most random explores I've seen in a while; thanks for sharing.

I hope something is done to save it.

Absolutely gorgeous pictures of a real gem. This place is so well hidden and kept secret and I suppose it will help preserve it. The intracacy of the stone work is just amazing and to think that a person has such imagination is mind blowing. Well done for this find.

its like something you would see in the films. and for something that has been built over a long period of time he has done a fantastic job ob building it with a great attention to detail. this is truly amazing

[fire*fly]

The Hobbit's House is called Colin's Barn (the man who built it). Its about 4 miles due east of Prince Charles's house in Gloucestershire, near the village of Chedglow. You have to go down a track then over a couple of fields, it is very well hidden and the locals will not tell you where it is when asked, I tried that!

Thanks for the link managed to find it on saturday What a amazing place Well worth the walk to find it
