The North Road also Greenway was the part of the North-South Road in Eriador.
Route
Beginning at Fornost Erain in northern Eriador, it met with the Great East Road at Bree, and then continued south through Andrath between the Barrow-downs and the South Downs and crossed Minhiriath. It reached Tharbad on the Gwathló, where it crossed the river.[1]
History
In the later Third Age after the Division of Arnor in three realms it became lesser used. Use of the road virtually ended after the Great Plague and Long Winter when Tharbad was abandoned and its bridge ruined, and the road in Dunland was mostly lost. The patch of the road around the Bree-land became grass-grown because of disuse and so was called Greenway.[2][3][4]
Boromir took this road, crossing Tharbad but losing his horse, on his way to Rivendell. In the Reunited Kingdom of King Elessar the road was restored and became important again.
