Home of Tom Bombadil

Not so long after Frodo and the hobbits had left the safety of the shire, Tom Bombadil came to their rescue when Old Man Willow had entangled them in his branches. Tom was an ancient and mysterious man of the woods who had lived forever in harmony with the animals and trees, and had authority over them.  Tom and his wife Goldberry gave the hobbits shelter and sound advice before directing them on their way.
