Bree

Bree is a town near Archet (to the north), Staddle (to the south) and near Combe, behind the protection of the Breewall. Other associated towns are Chetwood and Archwood. It is situated in the former Cardolan, east of the Barrow Downs and the only town between the Shire and Weathertop an oasis of habitation in the middle of wilderness. It is situated on the road that leads to Rivendell.

It is the only location in Middle-earth where Men and Hobbits live together (most being in Bree and Staddle ). The people of Bree are suspicious but helpful. Rangers wander there, who are not trusted or liked by the people, while recent years bandits plague the land. It has a blacksmith and is the only place north of Rohan where weapons can be bought. The famous inn The Prancing Pony is well kept despite the reduced traffic along the road.
