J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional homeland of Bilbo Baggins is called the Shire.
The Shire is a fertile region in northwestern Middle-earth inhabited mainly by Hobbits. Bilbo lives at Bag End in Hobbiton, and Frodo later inherits the same home. The quiet rural society of the Shire provides the starting point for both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
The Shire is not the entire homeland of all Hobbits. Tolkien describes other Hobbit settlements, including Bree and lands east of the Brandywine, while the Shire itself was formally established by Hobbits in the Third Age. Its contrast with Mordor and the wider wars emphasizes the importance of ordinary domestic life in Tolkien’s stories.
