That sounds like a fantastic project! Buckinghamshire is rich in history and has many interesting locations that could fit into a Lord of the Rings-style map. Here are some suggestions:
Bucks County Museum – Located in Aylesbury, it’s a great place to explore the history and culture of the region.
Waddesdon Manor – This stunning house and its gardens were designed in the style of a French château and provide an enchanting backdrop reminiscent of fairy tales.
Marlow’s Suspension Bridge – An elegant structure that would be perfect for a grand crossing scene in your map.
The Chiltern Hills – A beautiful area with rolling hills, perfect for creating magical landscapes and adventures.
Stowe Landscape Gardens – A beautiful garden designed in the 18th century, full of classical temples and striking views that could serve well as a magical retreat.
Buckingham Palace – While technically in London, it’s an iconic symbol of British history and could be a royal stronghold in your map.
Cliveden House – This historic mansion has beautiful gardens and a rich history, which might resemble a noble residence in your fantasy world.
Hughenden Manor – The home of Victorian Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, it’s steeped in history and surrounded by lovely landscapes.
The River Thames – Perhaps you can depict this great river with mythical creatures or as a border between realms.
The Old Bailey (or Aylesbury Gaol) – These locations can add an element of mystery and storytelling, representing justice or intrigue.
Feel free to add some imaginative elements, like elves or wizards residing in these locations, to enhance the lore and mystique of your map. Good luck with your project!
