Most hobbits with the spirit of daring semi-nomadic original tribes, the Fallohides, Harfoots, Stoors, etc, were eventually whittled down and only the overly cautious, uncurious-about-outside hobbits remained. They became mostly ignorant of the world outside the Shire, BUT retained the naive curiosity. That adds up to a near complete lack of savvy.

Add an over developed sense of hedonistic gastronomy, and mindless boredom-based curiosity.

You are doomed along them.

Adventurous hobbits, who ventured further than Bree, to E,were most often beset by brigands.

Even MORE adventurous hobbits, who followed the Brandywine N, and ended up around Evendin NEVER CAME BACK. The area is the remainders of Arnor, toppled by the Witch King himself. It's filled with nasty, ghastly, eerie, ghostly things that hate the living. Only a party of high-level characters would dare.

So, only the dull, boring hobbits survived to leave offspring.

200miles-ish W, the sea, Grey Havens,gulf of Lhun, impassable!!, given Hobbits are NOT particularly sea-faring (lol)

120ish miles to the N, along the Baranduin/Brandywine river, the walls of Evendin Hills. Around that E bend of their end, the Valley of Evendin,and Lake Evendin. And, nearby, the ruins of Annúminas... they are mostly empty (you WISH), except for the hoarse whistleof breeze and the mists from the lake....and occasional shrieks of wraiths, etc.

Why you should stay away from Hobbits, if you want to survive wandering around Middle Earth.

Hobbits were semi-nomadic tribes, survivors of small humanoids, originally from Central areas of the main continent of Arda. They were granted land, S of Arnor, circa 1600TA, right before Arnor was broken in three parts.

Shire is a green area with benign weather. Hobbiton is about, oh, 100-ish miles from Bree, to the East,
