The Great East Road
the old highway across Eriador and the Shire
The Road
The Great East Road (the East Road) was the great highway running across the lands of the West from the Grey Havens to the East, of age-old paving (the work, said the elves, of the Dwarf-folk), that passed through the Shire, over the Brandywine, by Bree and the Last Bridge, and climbed the Pass to Rivendell.
In the Tales
It carried the suddenly-met dwarves of Thorin on the road to the Mountain, and all the great companies of the War of the Ring marched by it or near it; it was ‘the Road’ of the saying, ever winding on to the East.
