the hamlet of Iant Methed, mid Third Age (Seeking Solis MERP Resources)
Location of The Last Bridge and Inn (MERP)
Type	Inn
Region	Rhudaur, Eriador

The Inn at the Last Bridge was the last inn between Breeland (the Forsaken Inn), the Forsaken Lands and the Trollshaws, and Rivendell. In TA 1640-1650 it was owned and operated by the Grumm family. The regulars were mostly rugged local Hillmen of Rhudaur such as the farmer Grepp, but also other visitors could be met; for example the traders Goldang and Falen, or the minstrel Turlin, who were known travelers along the Men-i-Naugrim.

The Last Bridge in the late Third Age

Towards the end of the Third Age, the Inn at the Last Bridge became abandoned and devolved into ruin, possibly due to the harassment of the Hugath-Trolls. Only stony ruins and a small campsite reminded that there had once been a small settlement near the Iant Methed.
