Bywater Road

The Bywater Road is a road in the Shire that runs off the Great East Road through Bywater and beyond.

The road splits off from the Great East Road about four or five miles from the center of the Shire. It then proceeds through Bywater and Hobbiton following The Water for about fifteen miles and finally ending where it splits off into other roads leading to the towns of Little Delving, Nobottle, and Needlehole.

The road runs for approximately thirty miles.

During the War of the Ring, the Hobbits led by Merry and Pippin ambush a band of Ruffians on the Bywater Road and defeat them just outside of it.
