Also known as: Baranduin, The Brandywine River
The Brandywine, called Baranduin by the Elves, was the great river that ran down the eastern bound of the Shire, broad and brown, crossed by the Brandywine Bridge of the old road and, lower down, by the Bucklebury Ferry. To the Shire-hobbits it was the edge of the wide world; few crossed it eastward, and the Brandybucks who dwelt on its far bank in Buckland were thought a little queer for living so near the river and the Old Forest beyond it.
