Still at Bag End

The road to Bucklebury Ferry is 71 miles. A birthday, a will, and a Ring that does not want to stay put.

The road

  1. Bag End

    0 mi

    A birthday, a will, and a Ring that does not want to stay put.

  2. Bucklebury Ferry

    71 mi

    Out of the Shire proper, across the Brandywine in the dark.

  3. Bree

    134 mi

    The Prancing Pony. A ranger in a corner, and a name that is not his.

  4. Weathertop

    239 mi

    Amon Sûl. A blade in the dark, and the road to Rivendell becomes a flight.

  5. Rivendell

    457 mi

    The Council. Nine walkers, one purpose, and a fire in the grate.

  6. West-gate of Moria

    798 mi

    Speak friend and enter. The mountains would not let them over.

  7. Lothlórien

    919 mi

    Mallorn and a glass of light. The Fellowship is already breaking.

  8. Amon Hen

    1,308 mi

    The Seat of Seeing. Boromir falls. Frodo and Sam go on alone.

  9. The Dead Marshes

    1,466 mi

    Candles under the water. Gollum leads; the Ring pulls.

  10. Minas Morgul

    1,640 mi

    The moon-tower. An army issues forth. Two hobbits climb the other way.

  11. Cirith Ungol

    1,662 mi

    Shelob's tunnel. A phial, a sting, and a tower of orcs.

  12. Mount Doom

    1,779 mi

    The Cracks of Doom. The Quest ends where it must. The Shire is very far.
