Well, I always found rather interesting that the Hobbits, the Stoors in particular, used to live in Dunland...

OK, so we know the Grey Havens and the second dwelling of High Elves must be Rivendell. This leaves at least one other High-Elven settlement in Eriador, so where is it? I guess the candidates are Minhiriath, Enedwaith and around the Ered Luin. Minhiriath is most mysterious, plenty of white space on the map for unexpected places. Enedwaith seems least likely, extensively logged by the Numenoreans in the Second Age etc. I fancy the southern part of the Ered Luin, where the map shows a forest, as the most likely place. Any other bids?

Well, I think not - Enedwaith&Minhiriath, according to UT, were almost empty, no inhabitants, the original wild hunters and fishermen were diminished and almost died out by the end of the Third Age, and if there was any Elven settlement, it would surely be mentioned. No, I think Rivendell and Grey Havens were the only ones. Unless you count the White Towers as a place of pilgrimage visits.
And yes,
Elmo may be right.
