The Southfarthing was the southmost and warmest farthing of The Shire.
Geography
Its northernmost point was the Three-Farthing Stone, its eastern border was the Brandywine River, and much of its border with the Eastfarthing ran along the River Shirebourn.[1]
Other features include:
- Hills: Part of the Green Hill Country
- Roads: An unnamed road crossed the Southfarthing to Sarn Ford.
- Towns: Longbottom, Pincup.
History
About T.A. 1630 many Stoors from Dunland entered and settled in the Southfarthing,[2] and thereafter Stoorish characteristics and appearance were common among the Hobbits in that region.
Tobold Hornblower of Longbottom first grew pipe-weed in the Southfarthing about the year T.A. 2670.[3]
Saruman, having received reports on Gandalf’s movements and noting his interest in the Shire, began keeping agents in the Southfarthing in T.A. 2953.[2]
The Southfarthing was where Lotho Sackville-Baggins began his rise to power during the War of the Ring, based on the substantial property in the region that he inherited from his father.[4] Presumably it was he who began exporting pipe-weed to Saruman.
Culture
This was the region where most of the Shire's pipe-weed production was concentrated, in warm sheltered places like Longbottom.[5] Another noted product of the Southfarthing was the strong red wine called Old Winyards.[6]
