In this park, you’ll find several filming locations from the first Lord of the Rings movie, where the hobbits hide from the Nazgûl who are chasing them. Most of the locations have signs, and there are usually plenty of visitors, so it won’t be hard to find them.

You’ll see the spot where the four hobbits hide under a tree root while the Nazgûl passes by and stops, sensing something. This is also where Frodo yells, ‘Get off the road!’

Additionally, in the extended edition, you’ll find the scene where Sam and Frodo are up in a tree and encounter an elf singing along the path.

If you want a more detailed video guide, I recommend checking out my video on the first movie on my YouTube channel.
