The North Moors lay along the northern border of the Shire in the Northfarthing.
Geography
The North Moors was located roughly fifty leagues (150 miles) north of the Marshes in the south. No elm trees grew in the North Moors, and it was the one region within the bounds of the Shire where heavy snowfalls were common.
Around the spring of T.A. 3018, Samwise Gamgee heard a rumor that his cousin, Halfast Gamgee, reported seeing Tree-men or giants away beyond the North Moors.
