LOTR: What are the Regions of the Shire?

Hobbits are one of the most laidback peoples in the Lord of the Rings, but that didn’t stop them from turning the Shire into a sprawling collection of thriving homesteads. When people think of Hobbits, they think of toddler-sized creatures with a passion for comfortable living. They eat multiple times per day. They’re often seen lounging about or casually making their way through everyday chores. Before Gandalf dragged Bilbo Baggins onto a great quest in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, it was inconceivable that any Hobbit was destined for more than simple leisure.
