Northfarthing

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

The Northfarthing is the least populated part of the Shire. This was the site of the historic Battle of Greenfields.

• Long Cleeve was the home of the small part of the Took clan known as the North-Tooks, descendants of Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took, who settled here after the Battle of Greenfields.

• The village of Hardbottle was the home to the Bracegirdle family of Hobbits, to whom Lobelia Sackville-Baggins belonged. Some maps erroneously place Hardbottle in the Southfarthing.
