Hobbiton…

It’s New Zealand’s biggest tourist attraction, so how could I return to the UK without visiting The Lord of the Rings movie set in Hobbiton!

I’ve seen the films and enjoyed them all but I wouldn’t call myself a super fan! However I must say this place outshone my expectations.
The fine detailing and intricate design of the whole set is something you have to see to believe. Even if you didn’t enjoy the films or never seen them before you too would be amazed by the beauty of this place.

We were lucky enough to catch an earlyish tour with only 5 or 6 others, meaning more time for photos, exploring and most importantly more time in the pub!

I would totally recommend a visit to Hobbiton for anyone who is visiting New Zealand, from the drive down from Auckland to the film location itself, it show cases the beauty this amazing country has to offer!

We even found our very own hobbit!
