Minhiriath

Minhiriath ('Between Rivers') is located in Eriador, a name for all the lands between the Misty Mountains and the Ered Luin. Minhiriath has no clear border in the north, but in the west, south and east it is bounded by water: the Great Sea or Belegaer, the river Brandywine and the river Greyflood. Minhiriath was part of the Kingdom of Arnor in the early Third Age, and later it was part of the kingdom of Cardolan. In the late Third Age, it was an empty land, and part of no kingdom at all. The area was once very forested, but by the time of the War of the Ring these woods were all gone, except for the still forested cape Eryn Vorn.
