Crickhollow was a settlement or village in Buckland, located a few miles north of Bucklebury.
History[]
In TA 3018, Frodo Baggins bought a house in Crickhollow after leaving Bag End, as he was about to exit the Shire.[1] The evening after Frodo departed, the Nazgûl attacked the house, causing Fredegar Bolger to flee in terror and the Horn-cry of Buckland being sounded.
Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took continued to use the house as a private retreat into the Fourth Age.[2]
