The Tower Hills (Sind. Emyn Beraid) were a range of hills at the west end of Eriador. They lay east of Mithlond, the Grey Havens of Lindon, and west of the White Downs, of old the border of the Shire.

High upon the Tower Hills stood three tall Elven towers, the White Towers, the highest of which was called Elostirion, which held a Palantír.

Although Gil-galad's kingdom didn't have clear bounds south of the Lune, the Elves of Lindon maintained an outpost there.

In S.A. 600, when the first ship of the Númenóreans sailed up the Gulf of Lune there was a meeting between the men from the sea and their distant kinsmen in the Hills.

The White Towers upon the Tower Hills were built before the end of the Second Age by Gil-galad for his friend Elendil.

During the Third Age, bands of Elves would go in pilgrimage to Elostirion in order to have a glimpse of the West through the Elostirion-stone.The Stone remained in its tower until the end of the Age; it was then taken back into the West.

In Fo.A. 31 the Westmarch was added to the Shire, making the Tower Hills the new western border of the land. Three years later Thain Peregrin I made Fastred of Greenholm the first Warden of Westmarch. He and his wife Elanor, daughter of Samwise Gamgee, moved to the Tower Hills and founded the town of Undertowers on the eastern slopes.

Эмин Берайд (синд. Emyn Beraid), Башенные холмы — цепь крутых холмов на западе Эриадора. Эти холмы образуют собой границу между королевством эльфов Линдон и Арнором. На Эмин Берайд стоят три древних эльфийских башни, в самой высокой из которых, Элостирионе, до конца Третьей эпохи хранился палантир Элендиля.

После того, как земли между Широм и Башенными холмами (Западный Кром) по указу короля Элессара были отданы хоббитам, на восточных склонах холмов было основано поселение Недовышки (англ. Undertowers). Первыми жителями стали старшая дочь Сэмуайза Гэмджи Эланор и её муж Фастред из Травхольма (англ. Fastred of Greenholm). От их детей идёт род Стражей Западного Крома, хранящих Алую Книгу.
