I am a vivid Lord of the Rings fan long before it was made into a movie. I love Tolkien's writings, his poems and new languages, his detailed design of the Middle Earth with it own history and mythology. The Lord of the Ring is a three book trilogy written by T.R.R.Tolkien which consists of
The Lord of the Rings | |
---|---|
![]() Tolkien's own cover designs for the three volumes of the first edition | |
Volumes: The Fellowship of the Ring The Two Towers The Return of the King |
The major part of the movie trilogy was filmed in New Zealand, a beautiful country.

The Waikato region of the North is one of the finest farming region in New Zealand. A unique site in this beautiful farming country near Matamata in North Island was chosen to be the Green Hill Country of the Shire, Hobbition, Middle-Earth.





I have had a wonderful time at Hobbiton. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. He showed us the exact location where each of the shots of the movie about the Shire were taken.
We are very gladful to our New Zealand hosts who drove us to this way out place.
Man, I am going to watch the movies again.

Thanks for this post. It brings back many fond memories of New Zealand, though I have not been to any of the Hobbits sites.
