a glimpse of Hobbiton

Hobbiton
The Shire and Hobbit Holes


Hobbit Holes with chimneys and laundry lines.  Only facades with no interiors. Incredible attention to detail, including burning beeswax in the chimneys during filming to make it look like there are real fires burning in the holes.


Each Hole with its own vegetable and flower garden, and 4 full time gardeners on site.


The Green Dragon Pub, replica of the original.  Complementary hard cider, ginger beer and beer for all brewed esp for this location.

 Such cute hobbits!!



Home of Sam Gangees and Rosie in the Shire



 The Gathering Tree underneath where Bilbo had his party.  It was this tree that attracted Peter Jackson to this site in the first place, the rest came later.


Inside the Green Dragon with our brews!






I'm not kidding, this was one of the best tourist attraction ever!  Maybe even worth the trip here!  There was no build up or plastic crap being sold and marketed, it was all quality in every way!  A Very peaceful, happy place those Hobbits have.
