Lond Feren

"The latter element in Lond Feren, "Haven of Beeches", is Sindarin feren "beechen, of beeches", an adjectival form derived from fêr,"Beech", as His Majesty knows, fer and feren are archaic words no longer current in the daily language of Minas Tirith, where we now use the word neldor to describe this tree. There are some who held that brethil  "silverBirch" of old properly referred to the beech, and that this usage should be restored, but they know not wherof they speak" -Findegil of Gondor

Lond Feren (S."Beech-Haven") was the name given to the sheltered estuary of the River Lefnui, off the coast of westernmost Anfalas.Because its firth extended several miles inland before being a true river, Lond Feren was a major source of beech and other hardwood trees for the ancient Númenóreans, who used the natural haven as a staging point for transporting timber back to Númenór. Beyond this accessible firth, much of the coastline that formed Lond Feren consisted of cliffs, lesser in height than those of Rast Rhaen but equally a hindrance to landings. These cliffs retreated as the estuary narrowed, affording safe landing places for nearly thirty miles on either side (though most ships of deep draft could only navigate five leagues upstream).
