Rushock Bog

Rushock Bog is a large wetland in the Westfarthing of the Shire. Located at a wide point in the Water, the bog is named for the large quantities of rushes that grow in it. Other common plants include sedges, heaths, and sphagnum. Rushock Bog is home to numerous pests, including mosquitoes and leeches. The road from Hobbiton to Nobottle passes along the bog's southern edges, much to many travelers' annoyance.
