I've walked past quite a few places Tolkien lived, but I couldn't swear to 20 Northmoor Road being one of them. If this were my list I'd want to add Moseley Bog, which is a patch of very primeval-looking woodland near Sarehole. I would of course drop New Zealand to make room for it, on the grounds that Tolkien never went that far, though as and when I do make it out there I reserve the right to change my mind.
Might be more interesting just to lump all the Birmingham sites together, ditto Oxford. In which case you can start to get more adventurous, and add places like South Africa, Warwick, Great Haywood, maybe Marquette. Anywhere else that really ought to be on the list?
