BREE

Outside Bree there is a stock pen between the tracks and the East Road. Cattle and sheep are shipped by rail from here to Gridley. Across the road is a farm with an advertisement for Mount Doom painted on its roof. Mount Doom is where Frodo took the "one ring to bind them all" to be destroyed. It became a tourist attraction after the War of the Rings.

The area around Bree is the only area in Middle Earth where men and hobbits live side by side. Near the double-track we see a couple of cottages, a passenger platform, the Prancing Pony (an inn where Frodo and his companions stay in The Lord of the Rings,) and Stoutfoot Brewery.

A man and a hobbit are busy on the docks at Stoutfoot Brewery.

Heading out of Bree toward Hobbiton, the railroad crosses Hoarwell Bridge before crossing a 65'-long trestle.
