Hobbiton New Zealand: How To Visit The Shire Movie Set

New Zealand is a wonderful country for a road trip, especially on the mostly rural South Island, where they have more sheep than people.

This country has two main islands, and both are worth visiting. The North Island has great beaches, volcanoes, and green farmlands, while the South Island has glaciers, fjords, rain forests, and arguably the best road tripping conditions and overall scenery.

Last, but not least, New Zealand is where the entire Lord of the Rings movie series was filmed, and they even kept some of the movie sets. That gives it bonus cool points.

Read through this complete New Zealand travel guide for more info on what to expect!
