The Shire is real (kind of) and you can visit it in New Zealand (or at least the film set). We've been to Hobbiton, where they shot parts of the Lord of the Rings movies, and yes, it's amazing.
“You…shall not pass!” is something I just couldn’t help but say when standing by the sign marking the entry to Hobbiton, much to my wife’s dismay.
The Mrs. and I flew from Christchurch into nearby Rotorua, a town well-known for its hot springs and celebration of Maori culture. For us, Hobbiton was a day trip. Our tickets included transportation from Rotorua to Hobbiton and back on aAfter arriving at Hobbiton, our first stop was at The Shire’s Rest. This converted woolshed serves as Hobbiton’s ticketing center and also houses a cafe, gift shop, and a garden bar.
Being isolated helps with the authentic feel because all you’ll hear is the sound of birds, the wind, and other tourists when their mouths aren’t agape. You can’t really go into any of the Hobbit Holes,, but the place still feels magical. The Shire seems so real, I half expected Everard Proudfoot to shoo me away with a broom for nosing around his garden.
Hobbiton is a perfect blend of manmade beauty mixed with natural beauty. It’s literally a living movie set, and after visiting multiple movie lots and TV sets, I can tell you honestly I’ve never seen anything like it. Hobbiton is amazing and well worth a visit whether you’re an elf, wizard, or Middle-Earth tourist.
