2025 England & Wales

Did a walkabout in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds region of England that afternoon and stopped by St Edward’s Church where this door is.The 13th-century wooden door framed by two ancient yew trees, is widely believed to be the inspiration for the “Doors of Durin” in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Famously known as the “Tolkien Door” it’s a popular attraction for visitors exploring the Cotswolds, we had to wait for a bit for people to quit posing in front of it to get this picture.
