Hobbiton, located in New Zealand, is the iconic film set from "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit." Nestled in the picturesque countryside, it features charming hobbit holes, lush gardens, and the famous Green Dragon Inn. Visitors can stroll through the vibrant landscape, soaking in the whimsical atmosphere that brings J.R.R. Tolkien's world to life. The site offers guided tours, where fans can learn about the filmmaking process and the intricate details that went into creating this enchanting village. With its stunning views and friendly vibe, Hobbiton is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a slice of Middle-earth.

Once a year, around the end of March, there’s also a special event, the Hobbiton Half Marathon. During this event, you can choose to run or walk the course, and there’s also an 11 km option for both runners and walkers. It’s a great opportunity to go beyond Hobbiton itself and wander through the beautiful fields behind it.
