An inn of great character in the heart of the Ribble Valley

Tolkien Trail

One of the better known routes in Hurst Green is the 5.5m Tolkien Trail – named after JRR Tolkien- which meanders along the banks of the Rivers Ribble and Hodder before returning to the village via the magnificent Stonyhurst College, where ‘Lord of the Rings’ author spent many months during the Second World War. This walk is dog-friendly on a lead, due to livestock grazing in most of the fields.
