Where was The Lord of the Rings filmed in New Zealand?

As soon as you start leave the cities in New Zealand it is completely obvious that this is Middle-earth. Any of the rolling green hills could be The Shire. Then you are in for some spectacular Lord of the Rings scenery as you approach the grand mountains and forests in the South Island.

Arguably, it was the success of The Lord of the Rings movies that showcased New Zealand's sheer beauty to the world. Now you can visit these locations on a road trip around New Zealand. We have only listed the Lord of the Rings locations that you can get to via hiking track, gravel road or sealed road, otherwise you would need a helicopter to get to some of the more remote places.

Die-hard fans might want to consider a Lord of the Rings tour to see some secret filming locations, which often includes costumes to re-enact scenes. Get your geek on!

10. Snowdon Forest

As Shadowfax demonstrates nicely, within Fiordland National Park is the location of Fangorn Forest. This is where Gandalf whistles for his majestic horse, Aragorn tracks the hobbits' trail into the forest, and it is the home of the ents.

Location: At Bog Pine Paddock, Snowdon Forest. From Te Anau, take State Highway 94 then Kakapo Road then Takaroa Road. Fiordland National Park, South Island.

12. Weta Cave & Workshop

Ok, so this isn't exactly a filming location, but it is the studio where the props, costume, make-up and special effects were created for The Lord of the Rings.

Location: Miramar, Central Wellington, North Island. Take Bus 2 to Miramar and simply ask the driver to tell you when to get off at the Weta Cave. Don't worry, this happens often. Otherwise, it is located on the corner of Weka Street and Camperdown Road.

13. Waiau River

Another Anduin River shot. This location on the Waiau River was used in the opening aerial shots in The Fellowship of the Ring. You can either drive to this location or see it on the Kepler Track, one of New Zealand's Great Walks.

Location: About 13km out of Te Anau. The Waiau River can be accessed by State Highway 95. About 11km south of Te Anau, turn onto Rainbow Reach Road. Southland, South Island.
