I haven't been reading beta info because I'd rather discover it for real while playing, but:

Eregion is southeast of the Trollshaws, and the Trollshaws map does show a big "to Eregion" on it. Riding into Giant Valley, there's a path that dead-ends at a closed gate; Eregion lies beyond that.

Book 14 includes a swift travel from Rivendell to Mirobel in Eregion. Currently that is only a tiny instanced portion of the zone and I do not know if it will lead to the "real" Mirobel or not once the servers come back up or not.

I'm also told you can swim/walk down the Bruinen river in the Trollshaws, which flows into Eregion as well.

I'll be trying all three tomorrow. In fact I logged my lore-master at the gate in Giant Valley so I'll be ready to roll when the servers go live.

To answer your question the entrance is the same entrance the fellowship uses. It was just blocked by the watcher in the water not destroyed like it is in the movies. Book one of volume two takes you thru the process of unblocking the moria gate and gaining you access to moria.

There are 2 entrances to Eregion from the Trollshaws.   The first is the heretofore locked gate in Giant Valley.  The second is in Tal Bruinen up the ramp with the broken down cart.  The ramp currently ends at a waterfall, but they will put a bridge there to allow access. 

See you in the MInes!
