Stow-on-the-Wold
It is said that the side door of St Edward’s church in Stow-on-the-Wold and the two trees next to it were an inspiration for Tolkien’s door of Moria, so I had to see it for myself. And I wasn’t the only one. There were many Tolkien fans stopping by, including a couple who dressed their dog up to take some thematic photos.

Unfortunately, while the town center has some interesting old buildings, besides the church there is nothing much to see in Stow.
The second biggest "attraction" after the church is just an ancient well located a short (10 min) walk out of the village.
And here is just a building from Chipping Norton at which I changed busses from Oxford to Stow.
