SUMMARY:Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin & Dickens
DESCRIPTION:Legendary fantasy authors JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis were frequent visitors to the Malvern Hills around the middle of the 20th century and the distinctive landscape may have inspired features of Middle Earth and Narnia\, like the Giant’s Cave from the Hobbit and the Victorian gas lamps from The Lion\, the Witch & the Wardrobe. \nA century earlier\, authors Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens visited Malvern for the Water Cure and most of the treatment centres and guest houses still remain. \nThe Malvern Hills Literary Loop starts at the Mr. Tumnus bench in Priory Park and heads up past Knotsford House where Dickens stayed to Lewis’s former school Cherbourg House before pausing at the Lewis Memorial in Rosebank Gardens and following the gas lamps up to St. Ann’s Well cafe. \nAfter admiring the views around North Hill\, the trail descends to Alexandra Rd where Lewis’s close friend & biographer George Sayers lived\, opposite the former home of composer Edward Elgar. \nThe loop then heads up past Montreal House where Darwin stayed during his daughter’s treatment and past Lewis & Tolkien’s favourite pub The Unicorn Inn before passing the Hobbit door and down to Malvern Priory to find Anne Darwin’s grave and potentially the original Narnian gas lamp. \nDates and booking\nThe walks are available on many dates\, often with the option of two start times on the same day. For more information\, including prices\, availability and to book. visit the Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin & Dickens page on Airbnb.

SUMMARY:The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien (Malvern Ink & Curtain Festival)
DESCRIPTION:The Worlds of J.R.R.Tolkien – The Places that inspired Middle-earth with John Garth \nThe landscapes of J.R.R Tolkien’s Middle-earth are much more than a backdrop to the action. They’re a living part of it\, utterly convincing and powerfully evocative. They derive much of their realism and depth from his personal connection with places he knew. Many claims have been advanced for locations supposed to have inspired him. But what were his real touchstones in England and Wales and how did they work their way into his novels? \nAward-winning Tolkien biographer John Garth takes us on a journey for the truth behind the myth. \nJohn Garth is known around the world for his award-winning writing on Tolkien’s life and work. His books Tolkien and the Great War and The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien are available in eighteen languages. He read English at St Anne’s College\, Oxford\, was a newspaper journalist for many years\, and is now affiliated with Oxford again as a member of Corpus Christ College Senior Common Room. He talks and teaches on Tolkien internationally.
