The map of Rivendell is based on the three drawings made of it by Tolkien. The road winds up from the Ford and then down again on the south side of the ravine. The cliffs were extremely steep and the gorge narrow to the west of the house but the valley opened out as it went east. The house itself lay on the further side of the stream and was reached by a bridge. There were trees at the top of the cliffs as well as in the valley itself.
