Helm's Deep is a large valley in the north-western Ered Nimrais (White Mountains) below the Thrihyrne.
The valley is blocked over its entire width by the trench and rampart called Helm's Dike and behind that lies the fortress called by Men the Hornburg, at the entrance to the Glittering Caves.
Originally the valley was home to a small Gondorian regiment, but after Calenardhon became Rohan it became an encampment of the Rohirrim, where the guards of the Fords of Isen live.
