Rhosgobel was the "old home" of Radagast.[1] The house is said to have been located between the Carrock and the Old Forest Road, on the western borders of Mirkwood[2] and near its southern borders.[3][4][note 1]
After the Council of Elrond, some scouts from Rivendell passed over the Misty Mountains and eventually came to Rhosgobel, but they found that Radagast was not there.[5]
Etymology
Rhosgobel, glossed as "russet village or 'town' (enclosure)",[6] is evidently a compound of rhosc ("brown") and gobel ("walled house or village, town").[7][8] The name of the house was perhaps a reference to its resident, the Brown Wizard.
