Experience The Magic Of Hobbiton Movie Set

Welcome to The Shire™, home of the Hobbiton Movie Set where The Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™ Trilogies were filmed. When location scouts found the Alexanders' spectacular 1250 acre sheep and beef farm nestled in the rolling green hills just outside of Matamata, New Zealand, it was clear this would be the perfect setting for Sir Peter Jackson's adaptation of these classic works by J.R.R. Tolkien. 

Today, you can experience a guided tour of the location - see the sights, hear the stories and embark on an epic Middle-earth™ adventure of your own.
