Wow, that's amazing. I wonder if the Shire was inspired by these places. I've also heard that in Scotland there are lots of Shirelike green rolling hills... I've never been there though.
I live near a creek called Willowbrook, but I call it the Withywindle because it means basically the same thing.
And I know exactly what you mean by the wanderlust, Numenorean... I feel that way right now, as it's starting to get cold. You go out and feel the wind on your face and suddenly you want to wander off into he woods...
