Is it possible that the Woodmen and their kin who lived along the Anduin had some contact with the Elves of Lórien and/or Mirkwood?
And evidently the surviving Dśnedain of the North still had a very close relationship with the Elves (although that's the Elves of Rivendell, not of Lórien).
It seems it was in the south that there was the greatest estrangement, in Rohan and Gondor, which probably makes sense given the geographical separation.
