Tumladen (Gondor)
Tumladen was a valley in southern Gondor between the rivers Celos and Sirith in the east of the fief of Lebennin.
A road went from Pelennor to the vales of Tumladen and Lossarnach, the mountain-villages, and then to Lebennin. During the War of the Ring, Tumladen was made a refuge for some of the women, children, and elderly who were evacuated from Minas Tirith.
Etymology
Tumladen is a Sindarin name. It means "a flat valley with steep sides" or "Wide Valley". Paul Strack suggests that it is a compound of tum ("valley") and laden ("flat", "wide").
Portrayal in adaptations

Tumladen was located in Upper Lebennin in Eastern Gondor. The river Sirith flowed through it. "Imladir" was the Captain of the Guard of Tumladen, but in the days before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields the "Lady Terenis", sister of Steward Denethor, dwelt in Tumladen and held the true power in the valley.
