Hobbiton_ @hobbitontours
“The Hobbit” was published in 1937 and “The Lord of the Rings” books were written between 1937 and 1942. However, the story of the Hobbiton movie set doesn’t start until 1998, when director Sir Peter Jackson was searching for a location to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved novels to life on the big screen.
Sir @peter__jackson and his team performed an aerial search across @purenewzealand and found a farm just outside of Matamata that would be perfect for the movie set.
With tremendous effort and help from the New Zealand Army, the land was transformed into the Shire from Middle-earth, replete with Hobbit Holes, gardens, and other features that brought the novels to life.
Several years later, in 2009, Sir Peter Jackson returned to Hobbiton to film “The Hobbit” movies. As a result, Hobbiton is now home to 44 permanent Hobbit Holes and The Green Dragon Inn, which appear frequently in the books and movies.
Unsurprisingly, Hobbiton has become an incredibly popular tourist attraction.
