Buckland was a narrow strip of Shire-land east of the Brandywine, lying between the river and the eaves of the Old Forest -- the only Hobbit-country on the wild eastern bank. It was guarded along the wood's edge by the High Hay, a great hedge, and ruled in its homely fashion by the Master of Buckland from the rambling smial of Brandy Hall. There Frodo took a house at Crickhollow as a blind to cover his departure, and from Buckland his friends set out with him into the Old Forest and away upon the road to Rivendell.
Buckland, Brandywine के east में नदी और Old Forest के किनारे के बीच Shire-land की संकरी पट्टी थी—जंगली eastern bank पर एकमात्र Hobbit-country। Forest की सीमा पर विशाल hedge High Hay उसकी रक्षा करती थी और Brandy Hall के फैले smial से Master of Buckland घरेलू ढंग से उस पर शासन करते थे। Frodo ने अपने प्रस्थान को छिपाने के बहाने Crickhollow में घर लिया। Buckland से उनके मित्र उनके साथ Old Forest और Rivendell की राह पर निकले।
