A town in the Shire. It was the home of Diamond, who married Peregrin Took eight years after his return from the War of the Ring.
Long Cleeve was the home of the North-Tooks, a distant branch of the Took Family who were descended from Bandobras the Bullroarer.
Etymology
The name 'Cleeve' probably comes from the Old English word for a cliff or stony bank.
This, and the name "North-Took" implies that it lay in Northfarthing, much of which was rocky in nature (though none of this is stated specifically by Tolkien himself).
