Frogmorton is a small village to the west of Budgeford and east of the town of Hobbitton. It spouts little services but the Floating Log Inn; and even its roof is under repair, which is troublesome for the drinking hobbits. In fact, this has driven away much business from the Inn and hobbits have ventured to far away Stock for a bit of drink; this being a little too close to Buckland for the taste of many; but the appeal of a mug of ale is too strong at times.

The village itself is surrounded by a dense wetland, if not a small swamp. It is populated heavily with frogs, toads and water snakes. Indeed, it is an atmosphere that many hobbits find simply dreadful and not many dare venture far from their homes to it. Yet the residents are content with the sights and sounds of the place.

Much like Woodhall and Stock, there is not much to see in Frogmorton, unless you find yourself inlclined to wander in a swamp. Yet there are a couple quests – one of which is given by the tavern keep – and the other is quite unique: it has you capture a grotesque toad aptly named ‘Lobelia!’ Ah ha! An intriguing swipe at the irritable Lobelia Sacksville-Bagginses! That quest alone makes the trip interesting, yet not very rewarding from a gameplay perspective.
