Port on the northwestern coast of Middle-earth. The Grey Havens were west of the Shire beyond the Tower Hills. The Havens were located where the River Lune emptied into the Gulf of Lune, which in turn opened onto the Sea. The ships of the Elves left Middle-earth from the Grey Havens and sailed westward across the Sea to the Undying Lands, where the spirits called the Valar dwelled.
Cirdan the Shipwright was the Lord of the Havens and a number other Elves lived there with him including Galdor. Many Elves also dwelled in Lindon, a green land on the shores of the Sea on either side of the Gulf of Lune.
