The Eglinton Valley in Fiordland National Park is an idyllic paradise and one of the world's few road-accessible valleys. It is full of spectacular landscapes and stunning vistas, with steep rocky mountains cloaked in native beech trees, lush tussock grass, and the gentle rippling of the Eglinton River. Home to a host of unique birdlife and New Zealand's only land mammals, it has numerous photogenic spots and memorable views. For fans of Lord of the Rings, you will recognize several scenes that were filmed here, including the Misty Mountains from The Fellowship of the Ring! It is sure to make your Milford Sound excursion extra special.
