The undisputed best big budget film location to visit in the world is the town of Matamata where Peter Jackson filmed many of the Shire scenes in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies. Since filming, some areas in the town, including the set of Bag End, have been repurposed into a shrine for fans of Tolkien’s greatest masterpiece. Fans can talk tours to the lush green pastures of Hobbiton, middle-earth’s most peaceful and beautiful destination, stepping into the unshod feet of the ring-bearer Frodo Baggins.
