The Shire - Bucklebury Ferry

This unmanned ferry on the Brandywine River is one of the main crossing points between the Shire and Buckland.

After a close encounter with a cloaked rider, the raft serves as a literal lifeboat for the Hobbits. Huddled, they float through the night, hoping to reach safety before the pursuer crosses Brandywine Bridge.

The Shire - Woody End

As the name might suggest, this region is located on the Eastern edge of Green-Hill and it’s one of the very few forests in the Shire.  Here, Sam and Frodo witness the last journey of the Wood Elves as they head to the Grey Havens, leaving Middle-Earth, never to return.

The Shire - South Farthing

  

Stretching from Three Farthing Stone in the centre of the Shire all the way down to its southernmost border, this warmer region is renowned for its lush fields and crops.

Frodo and Sam travel cross-country, as advised by Gandalf, in order to reach Bree. Although still in the Shire, this is an important milestone for Sam, being the farthest away from home he’s ever travelled.

The Shire - Bag End

 

This Evil cannot remain in the Shire, Frodo must leave cosy Bag End and travel to Bree.

There, Gandalf will meet him once more, after he has spoken with the head of his order, Saruman.
