Although people use the term 'the Shires' to refer to Middle England there is no obvious place, maybe Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Lincolnshire, Hampshire. Note there are also shires in Scotland and Wales, but things aren't clear. The Shire was the location of Hobbiton of ''The Lord of the Rings'' and ''The Hobbit''.
