Location

Dwaling is a point of interest within Bullroarer's Sward in Evendim. ^{[20.8S, 64.0W]}

Once a renowned, lovely hobbit village the visitors now find it ruined by The Chief's cronies. Most hobbit holes are burnt or torn down, including the cute Pearlina Gamgee's Residence. The former residents have run off to the Glass-blowers' Camp, just to the south-west.

Lore

A village or township in the northern reaches of the Shire, further north even than hills of Scary. Since it is nowhere explicitly mapped, its location is hard to establish with certainty, but it appears to have fallen within the northernmost borders of the Eastfarthing of the Shire. In a translator's note Tolkien stated that the name of the village means "the descendants of Dwale" and that Dwale was a nick-name of an individual, meaning 'dull' or 'foolish'. — [1]
