“Sorry! I don’t want any adventures, thank you. Not Today. Good morning! But please come to tea – anytime you like! Why not tomorrow? Good bye!”
-Bilbo Baggins (The Hobbit-Unexpected Party)
Unlike Bilbo Baggins we were excited and ready for an adventure!
From the moment we entered Hobbiton our eyes were in constant ‘AWE’ everywhere we turned. The green foliage was so bright it looked as though it was spray painted it on. We were ready to pack our bags and stay for a while… even if we did need to duck a bit.
Any mail today?
Wow! Really the pictures don’t do it justice.
We found the house for us!
Movie sets are typically built for a one time use. Hobbiton was no different. However, as they were dismantling the set after the first Lord of the Rings movie they decided, why not let people come see and feel as if you are part of this incredible world created from the pages of J.R.R. Tolkien. Now that all of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Hobbit’ movies have been filmed here there are even more homes and fresh gardens to enjoy on your visit.
“Cheers” with our freshly made Ginger Ale. Unfortunately Bilbo Baggins was not here to join us for tea.

“I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: someone has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.”
-Frodo Baggins
We are grateful he saved the Shire for all of us!
