Valinor

Fictional location from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth.

Valinor (meaning Land of the Valar) is the home of the Valar, the place to which they moved after being driven from Almaren by Melkor. Its major city was Valimar.

After the destruction of Númenor, Valinor and Aman were removed from Arda so that Men cannot reach it, but only the Elves can go there.
