Thistle BrookA tributary of the Shirebourn![]() A small stream that ran through the southern parts of the Shire's Eastfarthing. It had its source in the wooded heights of the eastern Green Hill Country, from which it flowed southeastward for about twenty miles until it ran past the southern parts of Woody End. There it looped eastward, and passed through the village of Willowbottom before emptying into the wider river known as the Shirebourn. Thistle Brook is not described in any detail, but from its name we can presume that thistles grew along its course in sufficient numbers to give their name to the stream. The name of the small village of Willowbottom near the stream's junction with the Shirebourn shows that willow trees could also be found beside the stream, at least along the valley near its mouth.
