Rhosgobel was the "old home" of Radagast.[1] The house is said to have been located between the Carrock and the Old Forest Road, on the western borders of Mirkwood.[2]
Etymology
Rhosgobel, glossed as "russet village or 'town' (enclosure)",[3] is likely a compound of rhosc ("brown") and gobel ("walled house or village, town").[4] The name of the house was perhaps a reference to its resident, the Brown Wizard.
Other versions of the legendarium
In The Hobbit, Gandalf says that Radagast "lives near the southern borders of Mirkwood".[5]
