We really enjoyed our Hobbiton visit. The attention to details is quite something.
Even if you haven’t seen the movie, it is worth a visit.

The site was used for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and The Hobbit film trilogy, serving as a stand-in for the town of Hobbiton in the Shire in both trilogies. It is situated on a family-run farm. It was completely dismantled after the filming of The Lord of the Rings ended.
The land owner farmer was always asked by tourists passing by to see the site even thought there was nothing to see anymore.
When Peter Jackson came back and ask if he could use the site again for the Hobbit, the farmer agreed with the conditions that the Hobbiton would become a permanent fixture. Peter Jackson agreed and Hobbiton became a real place.
