Bucklebury Ferry

The Brandywine Ferry by Mariët Theune
On the east side the bank was steep and a winding lane climbed up from the landing. The ferry-boat itself was large and flat.[1]
The lane was well-kept and every night someone lit the lanterns on the lamp-posts.[1]
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
The Ferry was said to be twenty miles south of the Bridge by Merry[1] but this was corrected to ten in the 50th Anniversary Edition.[4]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
- Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Peregrin Took all get on the ferry (at Merry's suggestion) in order to evade the pursuing Nazgûl and then ride it to Bree.
