Drúadan Forest, also known as Tawar-in-Drúedain[1], was a pine forest of Gondor, located in Anórien, which was north of Minas Tirith. The forest was inhabited by a strange folk of Men known as the Drúedain or Wild Men of the Woods. 

According to the The Atlas of Middle-earth, the forest was over forty miles in total length.[2] The highest point in the forest was Eilenach, which was the second Warning beacon.[1]

History

The forest had been occupied by the Drúedain since sometime between or after the years SA 883 and SA 1075.[3] It was known for being avoided by outsiders.[1] The forest is remembered most for when the Riders of Rohan were guided through it on their way to the relief of Minas Tirith, by the leader of the Wild Men, Ghân-buri-Ghân. There was a road there, created long ago by the "Stonehouse-folk" (Men of Gondor), that everyone except the Wild Men had forgotten. It would have taken the Drúedain from sunrise to noon to walk it, but it required around ten hours for all of Rohan's army to get through. Each company of soldiers was guided by a Wild Man, who also sent out scouts to keep their movements secret. Movement through the forest kept the army from being spotted by the enemy.[4]

In the Fourth Age, King Elessar declared that the men of the forest would have the land to themselves because of their help during the war.[5]
