This is the North door at St Edwards Church, Stow on the Wold, England, and is approximately 700 years old.
It is locally thought (though is unsubstantiated) that this door and the yews that flank it may have inspired Tolkien with the Doors of Durin.

Thanks for the info! It is a delightful door with delightful lore
Everyone could use some more door lore.
I’m a total door lore whore
yews that flank it may have inspired Tolkien with the Doors of Durin.
Nice. I was about to ask what species the trees were.
It’s the perfect iconic English wood.
Speak friend, and enter.

That is cool. Door itself is cool. Glass above the door is cool. Trees around the door are cool. This is a top-shelf door.
Care to share where it is?
Google lens says it’s Saint Edwards Church.
Another commenter wrote it out before I did. https://lemmy.world/comment/871232
On top shelf, obviously.
Many thanks
that IS a cool door, thanks!

The door is cool, but the trees are even cooler 🌳🌳
so what you’re saying is…we could make an even cooler door out of these trees.
>:(
:p
Be mindful of reflections when taking high-res photos
Zoom in… ah. I see. Little blur tool needed maybe.
Wait… What that? Zoom! Enhance!
It is extremely weird seeing a picture of a place you were literal days ago.
If you haven’t, the Cotswolds are lovely at this time of year.
Very cool!
Top shelf door there. Wouldn’t mind a few got my place
Looks like I’m about to enter Narnia
That is a cool door.

No, I don’t think you did. At least 3 posters in this thread know more about that picture than you do.
I’m glad you’re so confident. This is the shit I hated about Reddit—combative for absolutely no reason.
As it happens, I did take this picture. Just because I didn’t write out a Wikipedia article about it in the title doesn’t mean I wasn’t there.
Go look at my post history. One of my first posts is about visiting the UK.
Being able to see downvotes is pretty cool. You can tell when the person you replied to is still butthurt

It’s got the HDR look. Like, real HDR, not phone stuff.
Hobbit vibes… nice photo!
