Did this walk last week on a really sunny day-conditions perfect. Not many people about midweek and enjoyed a picnic sat on a rock in the River Hodder just before Cromwell's bridge. Don't forget to turn right at the bridge and go up the hill as far as the bus shelter. Fantastic choice of relaxing music by the way. Who is it singing please? JRD.
It's named after the writer as he spent a lot of time there whilst writing the Lord of the Rings books during WW2. A lot of the countryside gave him inspiration for locations in the books like The Shire & Shirebourn River which could possibly be inspired by Shire lane in Hurst Green and the shireburn arms pub.

Great channel, I've found some new walks to try!
Homie you had a perfect opportunity to put some beautiful lotr music but you put some country pop! CMON
Thank you for the detailed video. Definitely going to do this walk.
Great video I walked this and had a picnic by the river on a lovely day, so nice to recreate that at home via this great POV. Thanks Visit North West
What a brilliant video 👍
Are you located in Darwen?
Doing this route soon
Nice walks and scenery, but why is it called Tolkien's Trail? That's not explained.
