Great West Road
The Great West Road, also referred to as the West Road or the horse-road was the name of the portion of the Great Road between the eastern shore of the Fords of Isen and the north gate of the Rammas Echor north of Minas Tirith.
Course
The Great West Road ran from the eastern shore of the Fords of Isen straight east for approximately two miles, then bent sharply to the south-east and ran across Calenardhon/Rohan roughly parallel to the northern side of the White Mountains through the Westfold where it met the Deeping-road that ran north-east from Helm's Deep, continued through the Folde on to Edoras , then through the Eastfold across the Mering Stream into Anórien where it ran through the northern part of the Firien Wood and along the northern edge of Drúadan Forest to the northern side of Amon Dîn where it turned further to the south-east until it reached the north gate of the Rammas Echor in the north of Minas Tirith.
The road from the Gate of Minas Tirith to the north gate of the Rammas Echor to join the Great West Road was called the North-way.
The part of the Great Road that ran from the western shore of the Fords of Isen to Fornost Erain was called the North Road and later called the Greenway by the Bree-folk.
