(#3) The Fellowship of the Ring - Hobbiton
On Alexander Farm, near Matamata, sits the location they used for Hobbition. Or, more or less grew for Hobbiton. It took about a year of prep to grow and shape all the plants required to make Hobbiton what it was. This particular location is on privately owned land, but tours are available. -
(#8) The Two Towers - Fangorn Forest
If you'd like to see the legendary Fanghorn Forest, you can actually do it from the road! Head to Te Anau (about two and a half hours from Queenstown), and ask for directions to Takaro Road. Both sides of this road were used for shots of Aragorn running through the trees. -
(#14) The Two Towers - Osgiliath Wood
If you head to Wellington, New Zealand, cruise up the coast keep an eye out for Waitarere Forest. These are the woods that were used as Osgiliath Wood. Vehicles are not permitted inside without a permit, but it's home to miles of fantastic walking and biking trails. -
(#9) The Return of the King - Paths of the Dead
Further up the coast from Wellington, past the Waitarere Forest is the Wairarapa Region. In this area you can find the Putangirua Pinnacles, an eerie place where Aragorn, Gilmli, and Legolas sought the Paths of the Dead. The place is enormous, surreal, and stunning. -
(#17) The Return of the King - Pelennor Fields
This is a location that's actually more beautiful in real life than in the movies, as they used these fields for violent battle scenes. If you drive up the west coast from Wellington, near Paraparaumu, you'll find Queen Elizabeth Park. This is where they filmed the Nazgul and Mumakil in the Battle of Pelennor Fields. How is this not an awesome worldwide destination for LARPing yet? -
(#1) The Fellowship of the Ring - The Shire
A beautiful, vibrant, farming village, the Waikato town of Matamata was practically the shire before Peter Jackson and company even arrived. They rebuilt the Shire there again after The Hobbit and it's now a permanent attraction, with buses running to it all day.
