Enthusiasts are in step with Tolkien ^
TOLKIEN enthusiasts put their best foot forward to discover if the Kibble Valley around Hurst Green really was the inspiration behind
“The Lord of the Rings”. Tolkien often stayed at Stonyhurst
[<i w (u
College when his son was a teacher there and was known to enjoy long walks in the beautiful countryside around Hurst Green. Many fans of the author believe it was the inspiration for “The Shire”, the idyllic rural home of the Hobbits in the “Rings” trilogy and other works.
.' That led to the development' of the i Ia 5'
Tolkien Trail - a walk which takes in many of the features which could have inspired the author. Recently the trail was the basis for .
one of a series of events events organ ised as part of the Pennine Lancashire
EARLY September saw a succesful turn out for Clitheroe Garden Club’s first indoor meeting after the
KS
summer break. Chairman Bill Gregson opened
the meeting by congratulating all. who had played any p a r t in the club’s annual show at St James’s School. •
He said following what 'was prob-'
ably the wettest summer since the club was founded in 1972, the stan-
. dard of exhibits had still been excel-' lent.
Well done to gardeners who weathered the storms! Mr Gregson told members that
plans for the autumn social were under way and details would appear in the next newsletter. • ! Guest speaker John Ainsworth’s
illustrated talk “Forty Favourite Plante” Was described as fascinat ing, informative and humorous. ■Using a varied display of cuttings and flowers taken from his own gar den, he told members about the characteristics of each one. Follow ing this were some excellent slides of" his 40 favourite plants, including a
F e s tiv a l of Food and Culture. The intrepid trail followers searched for clues on the ^ided walk, while embrac
ing the serenity of the beautiful Ribble Valley.
' ■ The
magical.journey ended at The
ShirebuiTi^Arms,' in Hurst Green, for a banquet of local cuisine which featured
fell-bred lamb, Anderton’s sirloin steak Lancaster Smokehouse seafood cocktail
and Andrew Holt’s black pudding and pancetta salad.
