Sarehole is an area in Birmingham, England (formerly a village in Warwickshire). Template:Gbmapping.
J. R. R. Tolkien lived there as a child, and the area influenced the description of the green and peaceful country of Shire in his books. The nearby Moseley Bog (now a nature reserve) was probably the inspiration for the Old Forest.
Sarehole Mill is a water-driven mill, now a museum, within the Shire Country Park
