The Tower Hills as portrayed by Ted Nasmith

The Tower Hills, or 'Emyn Beraid' in Sindarin, were a series of steep hills located in the west of Eriador.


They lay about 30 Númenórean miles east of Mithlond, the Grey Havens of Lindon, and about 50 miles west of the White Downs, of old the border of the Shire.

History[]

The Tower Hills gained their name from the three tall Elven towers built by Gil-galad for Elendil in the late Second Age. Subsequently, the hills formed the ancient border between the Elven realm of Lindon and the Kingdom of Arnor, and the East-West Road which led all the way to Rivendell ran through them.

In SR 1462 Elanor Gardner, daughter of Samwise Gamgee, and her husband Fastred moved to the Tower Hills, founding the town of Under-towers on the eastern slopes of the Hills, and becoming the Wardens of Westmarch. The Tower Hills became the new western border of the Shire.[1]
