What It's Like to Actually Visit the Shire

There are more than 40 hobbit holes on the movie set, including some peeking out from underground.

You'll notice details like hobbit clothes drying in the sun.

While you can't go inside a hobbit hole, the colorful front gardens offer a lot of charm.

Each hole has personal touches meant to reflect the residents' personalities and occupations.

This tour goes beyond a movie set; you really get the feeling that you're visiting the Shire.

Inside the Green Dragon Inn, you can enjoy a complimentary drink at the end of the tour. And don't worry: the pub is people-sized, so you won't have to duck the whole time.

The Green Dragon Inn is like a cozy and traditional English gathering spot.

During the tour, you get expansive views of the Shire, located on a family farm in New Zealand.

You can take in one last view of the Shire as you leave.
