Addison's Walk "conjures up images of the walk through Mirkwood"? Really?

Certainly not to me - I would have said it was of more importance to C.S. Lewis fans. Now Moseley Bog, on the other hand, which is very near Sarehole Mill but isn't even mentioned on this list, is very much like Tolkien's descriptions of Mirkwood, Fangorn and the Old Forest.

Moseley Bog is extremely Old Forest-y.

What, all of them?

Lauterbrunnen's on my list of trips to take in Switzerland. I still want to do some more exploring in the eastern regions, where I went in July, but the Bernese Oberland looks truly breathtaking.

I've never been to Switzerland ... *sniff*
