These are the movie trilogy sites

The sets of the award-winning The Lord of the Rings trilogy are world-famous. In this article, you will learn where you can visit shooting locations and sets.

Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Middle-earth, which has received numerous awards and nominations, has gone down in cinema history. Characters like Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Frodo (Elijah Wood) or Aragorn (Viggo Mortsensen) are now cult and an integral part of pop culture. The filmmakers did their best to implement the story. Thousands of costumes, masks, and detailed miniature constructions of individual movie sets have been incorporated into the production. Although green screen and studio photography were used, many scenes and sets were created on real locations. In the following article, we will show you where the “Lord of the Rings” movies were filmed.

Where was The Lord of the Rings filmed?

To bring JRR Tolkien’s Middle-earth to the big screen, Peter Jackson chose his native New Zealand. Known for its stunning nature and dreamy landscapes, the island was the perfect place to bring the fictional world of The Lord of the Rings to life in real locations. We show you the most popular movie locations and how to travel there.

Matmata – Welcome to the Shire

The Shire is the home of hobbits. Frodo, Sam (Sean Astin) and Bilbo (Ian Holm) live here. South of Auckland, in the Waikato region, you can explore Hobbiton, visit Bag End or have a refreshing drink at Green Dragon. The Shire Film Collection is the largest walking group in the world.

Mount Ngauruhoe – Mount Dome

Among other things, scenes of Mordor, the kingdom of the dark ruler Sauron, were created in Tongariro National Park. The highlight here is Mount Ngauruhoe, which served as a backdrop to Mount Doom where Sauron forged the One Ring. Barren and barren landscapes seem tailor-made for the gloomy and barren plains of Mordor.

South Island of New Zealand – the vast plains of Rohan

On the South Island of New Zealand there are stunning landscapes, which characterize above all the second part of the trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Two Towers”. In Erewhon Park, two and a half hours west of Christchurch, is Mount Sunday, which has served as a backdrop to Edoras Town and Golden Hall, Meduseld. Helm’s Deep is filmed in a side valley of a hill, where the people of Rohan and their King Théoden fought against the army of the evil wizard Saruman. This group is the easiest to access of all filming locations.
