| Little Delving
Little Delving is a small village just North and a little West of Michel Delving. It is too far to be considered part of Michel Delving, but it was so close it was named after it.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Waymeet (1 sub-board)
Waymeet is a small village just North-East of Michel Delving. Local farmers come here to sell livestock and produce. Fosco Took's store can be found here, and quite a busy store it is.

| The West Farthing |
| Bywater (1 sub-board)
A tranquil village, Bywater is perhaps best known for The Green Dragon Inn, a friendly place renowned for great drink, local gossip, and lively conversations with folks from around the Shire. Bywater's post office is one of the busiest in the region, Hobbits being quite fond of sending presents to one another for birthdays, holidays, or just about any other time that seems fit for gift-giving or celebration – which is most days on the calendar.

| Overhill
Overhill is a town near Hobbiton and the party tree. Though the Sackville-Baggins live here, the rest of the inhabitants are generally known to be nice folk.

| Bindbole Wood
The forest just above Overhill. Few Hobbits go here for pleasure. There are rumors around about strange creatures living here.

| Rushock Bog
Rushock Bog is South-East of Needlehole and North-East. It is filled with wild-life and the bugs eat you alive.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Needlehole
Needlehole lies at the edge of the Shire, bordering both the Westfarthing and the Northfarthing. The road leading through Needlehole from the south also continues on beyond the Tower Hills into Ered Luin. Occasionally Dwarves will come down to Needlehole, and because of that, folk from Needlehole are thought of as strange.

| The North Farthing |
| The Greenfields
The Greenfields are located North of Brokenborings. They are a good spot to have a picnic. Occasionally bears come down here though, so be careful.

Brockenborings is a nice town located near the Greenfields and Scary. To the West and slightly South is Overhill.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Scary (1 sub-board)
In the northernmost regions of the Shire’s Eastfarthing, the small village of Scary can be found tucked into the southern edge of shadowed hills that run east to the River Brandywine. There is a labyrinth of twisting caves beneath the Hills of Scary, known to most as the Brockenbores.

| The East Farthing |
| Budgeford
The penultimate barn-yard atmosphere in all of the Shire lies in Budgeford, a small town just north of the east – west road. It is also in a very ideal locale; acting as a connecting town to the north villages of Scary and Brackenborings, while also being the centre point between Hobbiton and Stock. This has encouraged much trade from hobbits across all farthings, even if the residents detest the queer Bucklanders that stroll by.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Stock
Relatively large for a Hobbit village, dwellings in Stock are a bit unusual; many of those who dwell in this region prefer above-ground houses to the traditional Hobbit-holes. There are exceptions, of course, and adventurers here will find a pleasant mixture of Hobbit-holes, as well. Two main roads that meet in Stock, one heading west to Tuckborough through the Hill Country of the Shire and the other heading north to the Brandywine Bridge (the Bridge of Stonebows) or south through the Marish, bring a unique mix of travelers and locals to the village's taverns.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Frogmorten (1 sub-board)
Frogmorten is a town a little ways off from the main road. Directly behind it is a marsh. The Hobbits of Frogmorten are quiet folk who seldom venture out to the edges of the Shire.

| Woodhall
Woodhall is a small, out of the way Hobbit village that keeps to itself. Some of the best carpenters in the Shire live here.
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Green Hill Country
The Green Hill Country is wilder and untamed compared to the rest of the Shire. There is plenty of adventure to be found here.
| 0 | 0 | |
| The Marish
Located in the Eastfarthing of the Shire, the Marish is a region of swampy, yet fertile, farmland near the convergence of the Stockbrook and Brandywine rivers. A point of interest in the Marish is Bamfurlong. It is the home of old Farmer Maggot. Here's some good advice: Stay away from Mr. Maggot and his dogs. Mighty queer, he is.

| Buckland |
| Bucklebury
The most important town of Buckland is Bucklebury where the Brandy Hall is located, home of the Master of Buckland, one of the important officials of the Shire. Bucklebury is several miles from the Buckland Gate in the North, which is the only entrance to Buckland. The Buckland Gate is near the Brandywine Bridge which crosses over the Brandywine River to the road near Stock. An important landmark in Bucklebury is the Bucklebury Ferry, a raft-ferry used as the second main crossing point of the Brandywine River from the Shire to Buckland, after the Brandywine Bridge which is 10 miles further north. It is left unmanned to be used by hobbit travellers as needed.

| Crickhollow
Crickhollow was a village in Buckland. Crickhollow is located near the High Hay, a hedge grown to protect Buckland from the dangers of the outside world. Crickhollow is located nearby the Old Forest which borders Buckland to the east.

| The Old Forest
The Old Forest is one of the few survivors of the primordial forests which covered most of Eriador before the Second Age, and it once was but the northern edge of one immense forest which reached all the way to Fangorn forest.
It is bordered in the east by the Barrow-downs, and in the west by The Hay, a large hedge which the Hobbits of Buckland cultivated after they cut the forest to make room for their new homes.
The Hobbits believed the trees of the Old Forest were in some manner 'awake', and were hostile. They sway when there is no wind, whisper at night, and mislead travellers deeper into the forest. When the trees grew too close to the hedge, hobbits cut down the trees nearest and created a clearing by a bonfire. Ever since then, the trees were more hostile. Deep within the Old Forest was the Withywindle Valley, a dark, evil and malevolent place which was the root of all the terrors of the forest.
