When we arrive, we'll step out into a magical universe where we'll admire the beautiful velvety green landscapes of Hobbiton, with its hills covered in Hobbit Holes. Before we know it, we'll have been transported into Peter Jackson's universe!

We'll start to explore Hobbiton as we learn all about the filming of "The Lord of The Rings" saga. We'll discover all the iconic elements of this incredible movie set, such as Bilbo Baggins' home, the Mill and even the Green Dragon Inn, where you'll get to enjoy a specially brewed beverage.
