Location of Bree-hill as drawn in The Atlas of Middle-earth
Bree-hill was a prominent hill in Bree-land, upon which stood most of the village of Bree.
It was located between Chetwood forest and the great ring of the hedge and dike that protected Bree, and was about one-and-a-half miles in diameter.[1] Both Men and Hobbits lived there.
History[]
In the village of Bree, most houses of Men on the hill were faced west and were closest to the Great East Road, while Hobbit-holes were further east. There was an unnamed road that branched out from the Great East Road within Bree near the North Gate, running uphill along the houses and hobbit-holes, curving in a switchback and then ending.
On the northeastern side of the hill was a deep valley, home to the mannish village of Combe. The village of Staddle was on the southeastern side, where most of the Bree-Hobbits had settled. On the southernmost slopes were a series of fields used to grow a lesser quality strain of Pipe-weed called Southlinch.
The famous inn of The Prancing Pony stood at the foot of its northwestern slope, near the road that led to Bree's West Gate.[1]
