The Tongue of Lórien[1] was a narrow strip of land in Lothlórien that lay south of Caras Galadhon at the extreme tip[2] of Egladil in the Naith where the river Celebrant flowed into the Anduin.[3]
The Tongue of Lórien was a forested field covered with a green lawn flowering with bright golden Elanor plants. On its western bank was a hythe where the elves moored river-boats to travel along either of the two rivers. It was here where the Fellowship of the Ring enjoyed a farewell feast hosted by Galadriel and Celeborn before embarking on their journey down the Anduin in the year TA 3018.[3][4]
