Location of Calembel within Gondor in Middle-earth
Calembel, also called Greenham, was a town of Gondor and the capital of the province of Lamedon. It was situated on a small hill along the river Ciril and a major road leading south into Lebennin.
In the final years of the Third Age, Aragorn and the Host of the Dead camped here on their way to Pelargir.

Calembel in The Lord of the Rings Online
In The Lord of the Rings Online, Calembel is the seat of Lord Angbor, who was charged by Prince Imrahil with protecting the land from the Corsairs of Umbar when the other Lords of Gondor rode to the defence of Minas Tirith. Deciding to make a stand against the Corsairs in Linhir, Angbor left his son Drambor in charge of Calembel, which served as a refuge for inhabitants of the nearby village of Lothgobel when it was attacked by the Corsairs.
