A paradise on Middle-Earth

[Guinevere]

Alatar, your description made me immediately think of Voronwë's tale:

"Yet fairest of all are the willows of Nan-tathren, pale green, or silver in the wind, and the rustle of their innumerable leaves is a spell of music: day and night would flicker by uncounted, while still I stood knee-deep in grass and listened. There I was enchanted, and forgot the Sea in my heart. There I wandered, naming new flowers, or lay adream amid the singing of the birds, and the humming of bees and flies; and there I might still dwell in delight, forsaking all my kin, whether the ships of the Teleri or the swords of the Noldor, but my doom would not so."

This sounds quite paradisiac to me too!

That's near to the place I was thinking of. When writing the post, I forgot the most important part of my description, that it reminded me of what Parth Galen should be.

No one has mentioned Annunimas, or Evendim.

Or the Tower Hills.

Forlindon and Harlindon would be my elvish choices (after Rivendell; Lothlorien would be good but doesn't quite seem practical for a mortal to invite themselves to.)

Edhellond, in an earlier age, although constantly standing on the pier and waving goodbye would get old after a while.

The Ered Luin always used to call to me, not for any dwarvish reasons, but for the elvish mysterious not-on-the-map feeling I got when I looked at the "empty" mountains. Would you hear singing echoing from the trees? Hmmm.
