Tolkien slept here

"In the 20th century, J.R.R.Tolkien got inspiration for the 'Misty Mountains' (Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit) whilst walking in the hills."

"Whether Tolkien drew on his uncle’s experience when describing the Mines of Moria in The Lord of the Rings is open to conjecture. Commentators have also detected references to the Stanegate along the Roman Wall, and the wild cattle at Chillingham Castle."

"Well, we sit in the heart of the inspiration for his fantasy world, ‘Middle Earth’. -Tolkien actually lived just a few doors down from us after he penned his most famous works. He rented a cottage here in Apperley in order to ‘live in the world he’d created’ and walk in the countryside of which he’d written about."
