Kingsfell is an area in the central part of the North Downs. ^{[10.5S, 44.7W]}

It lies east of Annúndir, south of Nan Amlug West, west of Esteldín, northwest of Taur Gonwaith, and north of Meluinen.

At the heart of the North Downs, Kingsfell is mainly rolling plains of fertile soil and hillocks. The Kingsfell road runs west to east from the Greenway to the ranger city of Esteldín that is hidden in a large rift in the Kingsfell mountains, which also constitute the area's eastern border. There is also a north-south road that crosses the green fields of Kingsfell. The mountain ridges in north-west separate the area from the wilder lands of Annúndir.

Scattered throughout the area are old ruins as well as farmsteads that have been all been abandoned, except Gatson's Farm whose owner refuses to leave his farmstead for the grim orcs. The Rangers of Esteldín have advised the residents to find shelter at the outposts controlled by their members. Large herds of Aurochs can be found across Kingsfell, and also many spiders in the east. Orcs are, however, prowling almost everywhere along with their encampment to the southwest.

Mr. Gatson and his farmhands gratefully ask visitors for assistance, most other quests are given in Esteldín and other locations.
