This
first one is kind of self-explanatory. It's on a hill overlooking
all of Hobbiton, and is close to where the technical car park was for
the Hobbiton set. Really beautiful scenery in New Zealand, and even if
it's a bit chilly, it gets really hot on the Hobbiton set! The sun is
quite strong in NZ. |

This is a
nice picture of the Hill, the community of hobbit holes on
a...well, on a hill. Oh yes, and I'm in full gear, too. I have many
more pictures of the Hill, and of #3 Bagshot Row, Sam's house, which
has the biggest chimney in hobbiton. The funny story is that Sam's
hobbit hole originally had an extremely tall chimney, but the
construction workers tore that part down on it. So, the owners came and
decided to rebuild it, but instead of putting a huge chimney, they put
a regular one. The reason was because of the pesky sheep on the farm.
The sheep would rub up against it, and a ginormous chimney would
probably fall down. Sam's house is the hobbithole on the left side of
the hill. |

This
picture is on top of Bagend overlooking the party field and party
tree. This is the field that Bilbo had his 111th Birthday. All good
fun! As you can see, the weather was beautiful that day. Clouds in New
Zealand just happen to look more beautiful than clouds anywhere else! |

This is the home of Samwise
Gamgee. Note that this is the only hobbit
hole with an intact chimney. ALso, the doors on all of the hobbit holes
have been boarded up. Besides adding to the look of Hobbiton feeling
like a ghost town where the hobbits just picked up their bags and left,
it was done for a reason. Sheep were living in the hobbit holes, and
using them as shelter, but knowing sheep, they caused so much havoc,
the hobbit holes started caving in! So the only hobbit hole you can
still enter is Bag End. |

This the party tree that Bilbo
made his famous speech under. |

These are from 2 sides of the
Hill. One is from the party field, and
the other is on the road up to Hobbiton. Just remember the road that
Gandalf road his cart up the hill to Bag End. That is the very road I
am standing on! |
