The South Downs was a range of hills that ran through the central regions of Eriador. They were a dreary, empty land with scarce vegetation.[1][2]
Walking along the East-West Road from Bree to the Weather Hills, one could see the Downs to the south. The Greenway, running through the Andrath, separated the South Downs from the Barrow-downs.[3][4]
