The Northway was a road in the Shire. It is named as such only in the 1960 rewrite of The Hobbit, published in The History of The Hobbit: Return to Bag-End, so it may not be considered canonical.[1]
The road sprang from the East Road just west of Frogmorton, crossed the Water, and led to Oatbarton. A side-road branched off just before the Northway reached the Northfarthing and stretched to Dwaling and Brockenbores.[2] On the intersection stood an inn, the All-Welcome Inn.[1]
