One of the ultimate Lord of the Rings experience is Hobbiton. Situated in the 1250 acre Alexander Farm (which is a working sheep farm) Hobbiton is the Shire, home of Bilbo Baggins. Orginally developed in 1999 for 3 months of filming, the majority of the Shire remains for tourists and vistors. To many this is the highlight of a complete Lord of the Rings tour. This attraction is run by Hobbiton Tours. You can find tons of information here.

Ha, looks like quite a unique tour for any LOTRs buffs!
According to the film trilogy, there is truly magic and very magnificent nature in New Zealand! Before knowing this I used to think that there was used too much computer graphics in the film trilogy.
