It reminds me, somehow, of the old room in the Great Place of the Tooks away back in the Smials at Tuckborough: a huge place, where the furniture has never been moved or changed for generations. They say the Old Took lived in it year after year, while he and the room got older and shabbier together – and it has never been changed since he died, a century ago.
- The Two Towers (Book 3), Chapter 4
One of the oldest settlements in the Shire, Tuckborough lies in between the Green Hills in the Westfarthing. The town is home to the Great Smials, the ancestral seat of the Took family.
