Crickhollow

Hobbit house and location in Buckland where Frodo once stayed. Visited or referenced during the return to the Shire.

Crickhollow, a cozy hobbit-hole in Buckland, serves as a clever decoy in the grand scheme against Sauron's forces, where Frodo pretends to reside to mislead pursuers while he and his companions slip away southward. Though its role peaks early in the quest, it is poignantly referenced during the Scouring of the Shire in The Return of the King, underscoring the enduring impact of the War of the Ring on the hobbits' homeland. This modest dwelling evolves from a tactical ruse to a symbol of resilience amid the series' climactic homecoming.
