Location
Rhosgobel was located near the borders of Mirkwood near the southern end of Mirkwood, probably on its western side south of the Gladden Fields and opposite of the East Bight of the forest, because scouts sent by Elrond used the pass at the sources of the Gladden River, went down into Wilderland and over the Gladden Fields to reach Rhosgobel and returned over the high pass that was called the Redhorn Gate to Rivendell.
History
At some point in time after his arrival in Middle-earth around T.A. 1000 the wizard Radagast made his home at Rhosgobel.
According to the wizard Gandalf Radagast lived at Rhosgobel in T.A. 2941.
After the Council of Elrond, some scouts from Rivendell crossed over the Misty Mountains using the pass at the sources of the Gladden River to come down into Wilderland and over the Gladden Fields to reach Rhosgobel, but they found that Radagast was not there.
Other versions of the legendarium
In a very late note on the names of the Istari Rhosgobel was said to have been in the forest borders between the Carrock and the Old Forest Road.
