The Hornburg:

A Fortress in Rohan, probably built by the Men of Gondor, the Hornburg was a refuge in times of war. Untill the War of the Ring, the Hornburg had never yet fallen to an enemy, and it did not even then, though it was a close call, and only due to the Huorns and the Men of Erkenbrand. I do not know if it ever fell after the War of the Ring, though I think not.

Henneth Annûn:

One of the hidden refuges built by the Rangers of Ithilien after the region became the target of raids and troop movements by Sauron. This is where Frodo and Sam stayed the night after meeting Faramir. The most spectacular feature of the caves was that the setting sun and the moon could shine through the waterfall in such a way as to produce spectacular effects. It was sometimes called the "Window on the Sunset".
