Description
The valley was on the southern side of the White Mountains, in the east of the province of Lamedon in Gondor. The river Ringló had its source in a high snowfield, which fed an icy pool that spread into a shallow lake at the snowmelting season in the valley.
The road from the Hill of Erech to Linhir crossed the Ringló at Ethring about 50 miles downstream near the south-western end of the valley.
During the War of the Ring on 9 March 3019 Dervorin, the son of the lord of Ringló Vale arrived in Minas Tirith on foot with a company of three hundred men to aid in the city's defence. In addition, a few hillmen without a captain from Lamedon arrived at the city. On 10 March T.A. 3019 Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, the Grey Company, and the Army of the Dead crossed the Ringló on their way from Erech to Pelargir.
