You Can Search Far And Wide, You Can Drink The Whole Town Dry!

From it's kind,loving and crazy people to its fields of gold, the shire has a lot to offer for an everyday adventurer of middle earth!
Located in the north west (Eriador) of middle earth, the Shire is possibly the happiest and most joyous place on the map! By the Third Age it was one of few heavily populated areas left in middle earth, so as you can imagine with the Hobbits portraying a trait of being sneaky, things were very hectic! Being the large place that is the Shire which may I also mention is beloved by it's inhabitants, you'd be a fool of a took to come here and cause complete destruction!
If the Hobbits were ever low on supplies they need not worry, as their lands are covered in resources such as cereals,fruit,wood and pipe weed (A Hobbits favourite treat!)
To other races such as elves and dwarves and men,  many know the shire for it's well known area's such as Hobbiton and Michel Delving, (Where the mayor is located) so adventurers just make these places there priority destination as they will get information from the Bounders (Also known as the sheriffs, basically the Hobbits form of police) on where in the Shire they can keep busy or just give a helping hand to the locals who might not be able to reach the top shelf!
Throughout Lord Of The Rings, Tolkien implies that the inspiration of creating the shire came from the country that I am situated in, England, Yes you read it correctly, England! England you may ask yourselves?! Well simularites such as the weather and agriculture and not forgetting most importantly, the one many of you reading this will understand is the word "County" Yes, Shire is a synonym for County!
As I continue (hopefully) to update my blog on a regular basis I will be writing more in the future about the Shire so I hope you look forward to reading it in the upcoming days/weeks!

I also forgot to mention that judging by the picture on this post, I play LOTRO so i have basically described The Shire from LOTRO, the book and the films all in one!
