Raise your hand if you’re a Lord of the Rings fan! Well, nice to see many of you still out there. But you actually don’t need to be a Lord of the Rings fan in order to visit this one Florida spot. However, if you knew already what Middle Earth looked like, then it would probably help you suss out the similarities. Middle-Earth is a fictional setting in J. R. R. Tolkein’s famed The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien has written the wonderfully natural land to be predominantly flat, with few mountain ranges and overground forests. Picture mystical, magical, and a whole lot of scenery. If you still can’t quite pinpoint what it looks like, then we have the perfect representation right here in Florida.
Bok Tower Gardens, also known as Bok Mountain Lake Sanctuary, is a one-of-a-kind spot to visit in Florida.

But of course, nobody is able to enter the tower, despite the beautifully ornate brass door which only allows for the imagination to create what hides behind.
