Middle Earth Tours of Film Locations - Extended Version
This Lord of the Rings tour is a full day and our most popular tour, it visits
all of the filming locations for Rivendell where Frodo recovered from his knife
attack; the Auduin River where Aragorn was washed ashore after the attack of
the Wargs; the Gardens of Isengard, the sight of the Orcs Felling the Trees and
where Gandalf rode to see Saruman; go to the Mount Victoria lookout and Hobbiton
Woods where you can race the Ferry and get off the Road; Buckland Forest where
the Hobbits hid from Nazgul/Black Riders and where they found the mushrooms on
the Road; Dunharrow Rohirrim encampment; visit the quarry for the filming of Helms
Deep and the fortified ravine in Rohan and Minas Tirith.
You will enjoy an al fresco lunch at one of the region's leading restaurants.
You will be spellbound at the site of Lothlorien - the majestic Fernside Lodge. In 2000 Fernside’s lake was transformed into
part of Lothlorien, and then to the Gladden fields. You will see where Smeagol and Deagol forught for the Ring right at lake-side.
Fernside’s white bridge is a reminder of the
bridge
of
Lothlorien
. Fernside today remains a magical place and a must do for the most avid Lord
of the Rings fans.
This tour also visits the district of Miramar. Miramar is production central
and the home of Peter Jackson and many of the cast and crew. You will also visit
