Bogaerthe

Bogaerthe is a fictional settlement appearing in the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is situated in the Shire, a region inhabited by Hobbits. Bogaerthe is described as a small, peaceful village, typical of the Shire's idyllic countryside. Its inhabitants are hobbits who lead simple lives, focusing on agriculture, food, and community. The village itself is characterized by its well-tended gardens, cozy hobbit-holes, and a general air of quiet contentment. While not a central location in any of Tolkien's major narratives, Bogaerthe serves as an example of the many small communities that make up the Shire. It contributes to the overall picture of a bucolic and undisturbed land before the events of The Lord of the Rings. Information about Bogaerthe primarily comes from appendices and supplementary materials related to Tolkien's legendarium, offering glimpses into the wider world beyond the main story arcs.
