The broad woodland that lay to the north and east of the Bree-hill. The village of Archet was built among the trees near its edge.


Notes

1

The geography of the Chetwood and its surroundings are relatively well established, but we don't have precise locations for the villages of the Bree-land other than Bree itself, nor for the Forsaken Inn. The locations for these shown on the map are based, so far as possible, on their textual descriptions.
