Great West Road
From Tolkien Gateway
The Great West Road was the name of the portion of the Great Road east of the Fords of Isen and was known as a horse-road.[1]
After two miles it bent sharply to the south-east to meet the Deeping-road and again bent to the east and Edoras.[2] It passed across Calenardhon/Rohan parallel to the White Mountains, the Folde, the Fenmarch and traversed the Firien Wood into Anórien. It ran around the Drúadan Forest and ran to the south into the Pelennor Fields, outside of Minas Anor. It then passed over Erui at the Crossings of Erui, and reached Pelargir.[3]
