Alright my LOTR’s and Hobbit fans!! I’m so excited to show off some photos of The Shire (aka Hobbiton to the locals) – the beautiful natural set for the movies!! (side note….don’t adjust the saturation on your computer, New Zealand is really this green and bright and beautiful when the sun is out!! Eric and I took the 2 hour guided tour around the set and really enjoy hearing how the movies were made, how Peter Jackson chose this farm in the middle of nowhere and how they were able to create the Shire! They are still maintaining it from the Hobbit and I believe are shooting on it still for the third film coming up! So…enjoy Bag End, Green Dragon Inn and the Party Field and Tree!!
Sorry guys…… it’s just a set piece, not a really hobbit hole!!
