As the second film of “The Hobbit” is out on DVD, join us on the trail of J.R.R. Tolkien…
You’ve read the books, you’ve seen the films, now discover where the inspiration came from!
Led by an experienced Blue Badge Tourist Guide and Tolkien enthusiast, this very special tour explores the areas of Birmingham where Tolkien spent his childhood, and how the locations, events and characters in his life inspired his writing.
We can’t promise to find elves, wizards or dragons, but you will be amazed at the links between our city and Middle Earth.
The perfect tour for all Tolkien fans, and a great way to celebrate one of Birmingham’s most fascinating former residents.
Tour will start and finish at the coach stop behind Birmingham Town Hall (Paradise Circus), and will last around 3 1/2 hours.
The next tour in 2014 is planned for early Summer. Tickets for this special tour will only be available from our ticket agent Oxboffice. If you would like to register your interest in the tour for later in the year, send us an e-mail via the contact form, and we will notify you as soon as ticket go on sale.
Tour consists of a mixture of coach and walking sections, some of which are not on paved surfaces. Please wear appropriate footwear.
