Far Downs would be Far + Down + S, but Far isn't really a direction and I think it's more likely, if Downs, to be North, South, East or West. I need to look up which of these exist in the Shire, though.

Off the top of my head, I think North Downs might be the one that does.

EDIT: North Downs does indeed exist, but it's Fornost way, north of Bree, and not actually in the Shire.

EDIT: There are also the South Downs, though, which are south of Bree.

BTW I had assumed that Heren Istarion was a place. Looking it up, of course, it's the name given to the order of Five Wizards (which wouldn't make sense with the clue, even if it did have another i).
