Sting Landmarks of Middle-earth

There are many great buildings and locations in Middle-earth but the only landmarks I know about are The Glittering Caves of Aglarond.
I was wondering if any one else knew of any other landmarks.

This is rather vague. Maybe define what you mean by landmarks. The way I see it, Weathertop is a landmark. *shrugs*

Just take the map at the end of your copy of the LotR. Every natural feature or manmade construction named on it can be considered as a landmark.

Oh, sorry; I was a bit vague.

I meant places that were considered places of wonder in Middle-earh e.g. To our world - the Statue of Liberty, The Great Pyramids.
The only one I found was the Glittering Caves - not sure if you know of any more.

What about Rauros and Tol Brandir? A lake that surrounds a huge pinnacle of rock and then spills over a huge waterfall sounds like a place of wonder.

Moria, in the old days when the dwarves were still there, was a place of wonder.

And then there's Orthanc and the Argonath. Those were really cool man-made landmarks.

Well, if we are talking of places akin to the Seven Wonders of the World, they would have to be man (elf, dwarf etc)-made.

So, my nominations for the Seven Wonders of Middle-earth (in the Third Age, and therefore post-Beleriand and Numenor) would be:

The Argonath, Minas Anor, Minas Ithil, Orthanc, Moria, Erebor, Rivendell, Caras Galadhon and the Grey Havens ...

OK, the Nine Wonders of Middle-earth, then. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
