Druid Heights was a bohemian community on the southeast flank of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, about a mile from the Pacific Ocean.: It was founded by carpenter Roger Somers and poet Elsa Gidlow, along with their partners on five acres of a former chicken ranch. The name Druid Heights was given to the acreage in honor of two female writers, the revolutionary and teacher of Irish lore, Ella Young (the Druid), and Emily Brontë (author of Wuthering Heights).
