What places did J.R.R Tolkien travel in his lifetime?

Answer 1

Tolkien was born in South Africa and travelled to England as a young child. Otherwise he was not a great traveller. He visited Switzerland in 1911 which provided inspiration for the Misty Mountains and Gandalf. He visited France as a tutor to two boys in 1913 and returned as a soldier in the WW1 and fought at the Battle of the Somme.

In later life he made regular visits to Ireland and also visited Italy. I don't think he travelled outside the UK otherwise

Answer 2

J.R.R. Tolkien traveled to various places including Switzerland, France, Italy, and Germany. He also frequently visited and drew inspiration from the English countryside, particularly the Midlands and West Midlands regions. His experiences in these locations influenced the settings and landscapes in his literary works.

Answer 3

Mr. Tolkien was born in Africa, although soon moved to England.
