HOBBITON<br />

Hobbiton Movie Set, New Zealand<br />

Experience the real Middle-earth with a visit to the<br />

Hobbiton Movie Set, the bucolic setting for The Shire<br />

that featured in the Peter Jackson directed films, The<br />

Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.<br />

The Shire<br />

Guests will find themselves engulfed in the sights,<br />

smells, sounds and tastes of the Shire, the home of<br />

the Hobbits, as featured in the famous films. In fact,<br />

the films have attracted such a following that the<br />

Hobbiton Tour is one of the most popular things to do<br />

when visiting New Zealand.<br />

What to see<br />

Lose your heart to the Alexander family sheep farm as<br />

you “journey” through the beauty of the New Zealand<br />

landscape towards the movie set, which is surrounded<br />

by the mighty Kaimai mountain range. Your tour<br />

guide (no, not a Hobbit, but very informative<br />

nonetheless) will escort you through the 12-acre site,<br />

recounting fascinating stories and anecdotes about<br />

the trilogies. You’ll visit the Hobbit Holes and the Mill<br />

and you can even dine in the world-famous Green<br />

Dragon Inn!<br />
