NobottleA village of the northwestern ShireNobottle in the Westfarthing of the Shire (slightly conjectural)
Nobottle in the Westfarthing of the Shire (slightly conjectural)
A small village that lay in the upper valley of the Water in the Shire's Westfarthing, far to the north of the East Road. The sparsely populated landscape of the northern Westfarthing around Needlehole lay at a place where the land was rising toward the Hills of Evendim, which lay about fifty miles to the north of the village. The only settlement known to be close to Nobottle was the village Needlehole, about ten miles to the east.2 A road connected the two villages and then ran southward, veering away from the Water to avoid the marshlands of nearby Rushock Bog. Further southward from Nobottle this road split, with one fork leading southward to Waymeet, while the other ran along the course of the Water toward Hobbiton, some forty miles distant. Notes
