There was room and to spare for incomers, and ere long the Hobbits began to settle in ordered communities. Most of their earlier settlements had long disappeared and been forgotten in Bilbo’s time; but one of the first to become important still endured, though reduced in size; this was at Bree and in the Chetwood that lay round about, some forty miles east of the Shire.
- The Fellowship of the Ring (Book 1), Prologue
The Chetwood is a forest east of Bree-hill. The village of Archet lies near its edge.
