    Hobbiton Movie Set

    I have travelled this tour to Middle Earth with hundreds of Hobbit fans and love seeing my fellow travelers fascinated by their experience of this remarkable movie set where their favorite stories & characters were brought to life. The set is very realistic, you can imagine the Hobbits living there, going about their day to day chores, tending their gardens and catching up with their neighbor's at the Green Dragon Inn for a quiet ale or two. Stand under the party tree, see all your favorites, and hear behind-the-scenes stories as you walk the meandering tracks past the Hobbit holes, Bag End, Gandalf's Cutting, The Mill and the fascinating facts of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films. Maintained by a team of gardeners and maintenance staff it's kept just like the movies. Even if you haven't read the books or seen the movies you will still love it
